oil leak

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
It drops towards the floor, as you are travelling that means it gets spread further along the underside the faster you go.  Your car creates drag, or an area of low air pressure behind your car that lifts dirt etc from floor level upwards, sothe oil spots in the air coming from under your car get swirled around in the air behind you and the heavier drops get 'flung' onto your paintwork.

3l in 500 miles :shock: I'd hate to have been following you.

Does your car have the oil cooler in the rad? if so this is a good place to start looking for a leak that has developed this quickly.  Also check for a rusty or loose sump, loose filter/drain plug etc.  i'd be well surprised if an oil sela would fail this quickly without something else causing it, but i suspect you wont see the leak without cleaning it by now.  On a plus point your car won't be going rusty too soon :wink:

muzzer:
