Had a Weber fitted last week and the van has been going like a dream. Oil pressure alarm went off about 5 minutes into my drive this morning.
Look underneath and there’s oil p’ing out of somewhere. Any ideas?

Re: Oil leak
There’s also oil at the top, but I can’t see anything actively leaking when I run the engine.

Re: Oil leak
Give it a good clean all over with dry rags before using detergents at this stage. This may point to where the leak/leaks are coming from Has the oil level dropped significantly, if so if the leaks are not evident after cleaning start the engine after ensuring there is enough oil just to test for leaks. Also check the oil filter is secured in place.

Re: Oil leak
Have you checked that the filter is tightly screwed in place? Just hand tight should do it. If it had vibrated loose it might explain the oil in that vicinity.

Re: Oil leak
Distributor seal? Looking at your pictures. Could be wrong but it's easy to check.
