Hi
As the weather has taken a turn for the worst with the rain, my car has decided now is a great time to play up.
I've noticed a small drop of oil on my driveway. Confirmed leak when garage was doing the tracking on my car and had the car up on the ramp.
I have removed the plastic underhousing and saw the sump covered in oil. The highest point of the oil leak seems to be coming from driver's side of engine block near the auxillary belt(?). No engine warning lights and car drives fine.
I need some help in determining what is located near this leak point (sorry not confident enough to know whether it is oil pump or not). Could someone take a look at the following pics and help?
I realise I need to take it in to get the leak properly diagnosed, but any help in identifying what it could be and approx cost would be helpful, so I don't nod like a lemon when the mechanic is telling me what's wrong.
Also, if the job could be done as a DIY, then that would be helpful too.
Otherwise, any contacts of reasonable priced good mechanics near Windsor would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
