Suspect engine oil leak

Featured Replies

Firstly, thank you to all that suggested and helped in my previous post. I have now in fact established that the system is electronic not hydraulic as first thought. I have now concluded that I have an engine oil leak but once again I am unable to establish exactly where the leak is. I have enclosed some pics. which I am hoping, may be enough to get some guidance where to start. l advice and suggestions gratefully received. Model : 2014 Rapid 1.2 Eng.No. CBZAF48167 (NH model)

Finding the source can be tricky as you have found out. Oil has a habit of defying the laws of gravity etc. Best option is to clean it up and see if you can trace where its coming from. If its a small area then a can of brake cleaner will do. If its over a bigger area I use Gunk and then power wash. Is it definitly oil and not brake/clutch fluid?
