Servicing 'Fluid' leak found after service

Amnesia · 1st June 2008, 18:43

Hi,

Checked under the hood after the car's 25K service (as you do) and noticed what might be an oil (of some kind) leak......

Should I be worried?

Hmm looks like they might have spilt some oil when they were changing the oil filter. Did you only notice this after the service? The best thing is to clean it up maybe you can get the dealer to do it as it looks like they didnt do the job properly.

Probably is a spill, best thing is to clean it up and keep an eye on it for a few days.

Thanks for the responses!

I gave it a bit of clean, and I haven't seen an further sign of oil, so it was probably a spill as you've mentioned.

If you think that was bad, you should have seen the attempt they made to wash the car....
