its dripping from the bottom of the car, where the oil is emptied i think, i think there is something missing.. got my car out today since a while then theres a huge patch of oil, and i drove it today and where every the car is stationary theres a patch of oil of where it was. basically its leaking oil from the bottom of the engine. i just want to kno what needs to be placed on it to stop it from leaking so i can order the parts

new sump plug then. check the sump for damage.


or even around the engine for oil leaks

If its leaking from the sump its the waher you need to change so drop the oil and use a new sump washer. Some places are to cheap and don't use a new one and it means it leaks.

Just check it tight though I've known ones which have been resued sump washers to come loose

theres always help available on here. join up for a fiver to see the guides section. Well worth it. I saved alot more money by doing things myself by reading the guides.
