Krzys Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Have you checked the silly things like sump plug bolt tightened up or the sump bolts themselves? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 haven't had a chance yet, it was using a lot before the oil change as well so i doubt its the plug ill check the bolts if it ever stopps raining lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 When you changed the oil and put new in did you start it up and let fill the filter etc and recheck level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 um..... cant remember ill check it again next time im going out, topped it up this morning, so it might make a difference, really think it could loose a litre from that?

simpo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you have a slight leak and didn't top it up properly then yeah could lose that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Any smoke do you know? Mayo on the oil cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have also heard that the rubber around the dip stick can age and cause a bit of oil to squirt out there sometimes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
