Any advice on what this little leak is??

[chris watton]

I noticed a small leak of what looks like oil near the front of the car, kind of in-between the front of the engine and the oil tank, near the left side!
Can anyone enlighten me as to what may be causing this?



I have circled around the area where the leak seems to be coming from, hope it's not serious!

Cheers

Chris

Looks like the front/timing cover area?

There are a number of oil pipes to and from the oil tank, so check those too.

Chris,

Mine just went in for a similar leak. It was quite bad - dumping loads of oil over the deck.

Probably best that you get the oil system pressure tested and it will show where it's coming from.

Haven't had a service recently have you........

I think I'm getting too paranoid about my car, its even entering my dreams (like Freddy Kruger!)
Last night I dreamt that I was convinced my Tam was costing me too much, so I part exed it for a '54 reg Tuscan. When I got the Tuscan home, it was a mess, bad paintwork, all wheels scratched and the engine bay black. I quickly went back to the dealers to ask if I could have my beloved little Tam back, but they'd already sold it! , so in my haste to get rid, I got the worse deal! The dream was so real that when I woke up, I thought I had a dodgy Tuscan ready to self destruct in my garage!

Think I better concentrate on my work and family life more!!!!!!!
