OIL LEAK???

[loyalduke]

Last oil leak was soved by new brake vac.pump.

 But now a real mystery....if I park facing uphill no leak however park facing downhill I get a 'puddle' :?

Any ideas where to start looking :roll:

Park on the flat, preferably under cover, spread sheets of paper under the suspected area. Leave overnight then track the drips back to where they came from - if necessary jack up the back end and support on stands first.

Do you have any idea what the puddle is.....

Does it smell?

Hopefully if there is 'enough' you should be able to tell if its diesel, engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, or local cats

When I worked as a bus mechanic and we had a leak we couldnt find, we used to clean off as much oil and dirt as possible then throw a handful of flour up at the rough area of the leak.  In the morning the trail of oil was quite easy to find.

Also, the bus garage used to smell like a bakery by mid-morning too :)
