Oil Dump! Help! Coventry

Post by ronsrecord »

Got to work this morning and parked up. Spotted the oil trail I'd left behind - looked under the van and it had completely dropped all it's oil!!

Having difficulty seeing where it might have come from. It's coming from the back of the engine - fairly central - beside oil filter.

can anyone shed any light what i should be looking for and who might be able to help garage wise in Coventry????

Check that the oil filter hasn't vibrated loose.
