Re: oil leak on front floor mats
had you recently topped up and spilt a bit, it takes a while to percolate down and it's not the easiest to fill as the screen is where you really want the bottle and your hand to be

As Aidan said, it is a pain to refill, have a check around the cap, any overflow will sit in the surface around it and be held in place by the lip of the reservoir, always worth wiping this area with a tissue to absorb any overflow.

Thanks Aidan, haven't topped it recently but just remembered that I had the Steering Column Bearing changed and could possibly be some drip due to that? Took another drive today and no leak at all. Oil level seems ok and clutch master too.

Thanks! It could possibly be from oil drip from a recent Steering Column Bearing, just remembered I got this changed recently.
