Wedge passed MOT clap all it needed was a cable tie on a steering rack boot, Then takes it home drives into the wall on the driveway banghead only small cosmetic damage fixed with a paint brush and red arrows airfix model paint(Exact match), then goes and open the garage door to find a small but worrying pool of oil on my mothers newly laid white driveway frown FFS back under it again on the weekend to see what delights it has instore for me this time!!!!

Have you started on the rust already. Is this your way of dealing with the shock of maybe not passing a MoT.
Glad the car passed the mot, im a bit pizzled in how you didnt see a wall thats proberly been there for donkeys, as for the oil. Does it look like diff oil or gear box oil or the last of the oil choise the engine oil, you should be able to smell the difference, could just be a wee wheep from the diff sice you had the car layed up for a few months and the seals have gone a little hard. May sort it self out, check the oil cooler pipes first and they are easer to get too Dix
