Oil, I think. Well, it's dark, and it 's not under the radiator, but under the engine, so I think it's oil.

Sorry to hear about your problems, the one question I can help you with is about breakdown cover, I know people who have just joined a recovery service after a breakdown with no problems. May I suggest First Call GB very cheap and a high level of cover.

Hi, Sorry to here about your problem.

As you have had work carried out on the vehicle, which I assume was by a reputable garage, could I suggest that you contact who ever carried out the work and tell them what now has happened. Depending on how long a go these repairs where completed, they may agree that you should not be having this problem so early after wards, and they may even collect the car for you free of charge. After all you were their customer, where you not?

Surely they must have some sort of warantee for repairs that have been carried out, unless they were done by a private individual, back Street person.

I suggest that you speak nicely with them at first, as charm is always the better course of action, especially when it is you that is on the back foot here.

I wish that I could help you further, but I am not sure who did the repair work for you.

Hope you get it resolved.:thumbup:

Do you have air conditioning on your car?

One thing to remember re. leaks is that the Fabia has an undertray under the engine, so the place where the leak hits the ground may not be the place where it's actually coming from. The only real way to tell what it is is to try and mop some up, or see if it evaporates, and if so, if there's any residue...
