Oil Leakage

Oil Leakage

NOTE: Careful localization of leakage points may make it possible to prevent incorrect or cost-intensive repairs.

Test Steps:
^ Thoroughly clean the transaxle, engine and surrounding area (using a steam jet, for example).
^ To locate leakage, use a suitable identifying spray or similar product.
^ Depending on the amount of leakage, take the car for a short or a longer test drive - It may prove sufficient to place the car on a hoist and run the engine at idle speed to trace the leak.
^ If possible, determine exactly which type of oil is escaping.
