Some sort of leak under car

Featured Replies

Hello,

I was fitting my LCR splitter earlier so had the car jacked up, and I noticed some sort of oil or coolant? coming from this pipe?

Does anyone no what it is? I have just purchased the car so would it be under warranty or is it normal? He said it has a 3 month engine/ transmission warranty. Below is the pictures, its vRS if it makes a difference

Pretty sure thats your lower boost pipe from what i can make out. They are very poor standard clips and some do leak the oily vapour out of them.

Thats fine!

Completely normal

Crank case vent (oil vapor) going through turbo and into intercooler pipework!

You can vent your crank case to atmosphere which gets rid of it
