everytime i leave the car i have a drop of oil under the car... notice it more in the rain!!!

Anyway found one leak on the intake where he engine breather tube goesin into the intake box the fibre stub that you jubliee clip to had snapped off but was still there so oil would of been condensing and going down the chassis and under the car... must of been like it for a while chassis is pristine on that side of the car!!!

found another leak from the rear of the gearbox... just a little bit of red transimission fluid about to drip from rear of box... as much as i tryed when i whiped it off i could'nt get any more drips out of it so its not to bad but needs fixing... Is it an easy enough job with the car on axle stands....

Only leaks i can find but its enough!!!
Cheers

Jack

If it's a consistent leak you are best off trying to park on some clean space and working out exactly where the drip is from (ie. front/rear/left/right of engine. Then go sleuthing with that knowledge smile

I`ve been told that most Cerbs leak a little due to the breather pipes. Am I wrong?

Some people have, and it can tidy up the smear of oil nicely, but not everyone has the same issue or necessarily drives in a way that provokes it! smile
