Oil Leak

Alright chaps, After sundays drive i noticed some oil sitting on the tray in front of the battery, after inspection i saw some oil around the filler cap and some sitting on the thread inside the filler cap. Now could the oil have come out and sprayed off the belts ? Also the car was sitting in traffic for ages just creeping foward . I did give it a bit of stick on the way to Greatstone and back. The car is a 95 wrx. Thanks chris. :?

Re: Oil Leak

oh, and to go back on topic, i doubt oil would escape from the filler cap. also, when i top my oil up, i've always had a little bit at the top in the thread, never worried about it.

have you noticed it using oil more than normal?

Re: Oil Leak

crank seal was done when we done the cambelt. best this is to give it a wash off and give it a drive and look then, it dosent take long to blow all over the place.
