Hi All
We have just had an oil change (about 3 weeks ago). Since then we have had a constant oil leak, having to top up about 5 litres of oil.
At first it looked like the sump was leaking from an old repair which I resealed, oil was just hanging to the sump from collecting on the bash plate, then on checking the seals around the sump there was a little moisture so I tightened all the bolts, and thoroughly degreased all areas.
This afternoon I found the leak was coming from the overflow pipe. The pipe is dry on the outside, and the oil was a little low.
Does anyone know what may be causing oil to leak out of the overflow?
