you have to laugh sometime


"Hi, I have a slight oil leak from just in front of the drivers side rear wheel. Haven't checked oil level yet. Just leaving oil spots on floor when parked at work during the day.help please"


I suggested parking over a sheet of cardboard to check


"I,'ve got it at home and dried underneath and put it in the garage with cardboard underneath. Emptied boot and found puddle of oil in front of where spare wheel sits.dried up oil and left for an hour. Tiny little drip on cardboard about the size of a penny. Drove up and down street and done half a dozen emergency stops, breaks fine.would appear that oil seeping from spare bottle in boot. Fingers crossed ....thanks for all your help... much appreciated"
