Our car went in for its 40000 service yesterday and this morning I found a puddle of oil on the garage floor. I had a bit of a look under the bonnet and found a pool of oil in the area where the oil filter is. I figured that the filter was leaking.
After speaking to the service manager I took the car back and they reckoned that the tech had forgotten to clean the oil out from the filter area after changing it. They cleaned it up and took the car for a drive and on return there seemed to be no oil in the area. Problem solved.....or so i thought.
I have just came back in from a drive to find that there is oil in the area again but not as much as before. On closer inspection there seems to be residue oil above the filter. Can anyone help with what is above the filter area and speculate on where the oil could be coming from? I will be taking it back tomorrow and would like to have some knowledge as ammunition.
Also the oil is quite dark is this normal for oil that has just been changed?
