I have just discovered a minor oil leak (for just now). It seems to be coming from the back of the engine low down from what I can tell. Anyone any ideas as to where this leak maybe.

Octavia VRS petrol 2013 92000 miles

I have owned the car since 2014 and it is serviced yearly.

Could be a number of places? EGR / Turbo / Oil Pan. Suggest you keep an eye on the oil level and book the car in for attention.

Only one way to find out, get it steamed off so it's spotless, then run it and monitor.

I think you answered your own question...

At the back, low down.

Look there and you will find it.

I'd suggest cleaning the engine well then checking once you have driven a bit.

Thanks for the suggestions. Car is booked in for investigation.

Update - Car has been in the garage oil pan gasket is leaking. Parts ordered and getting replaced.

Thanks everyone.
