Hi. Noticed my oil leak is getting worse!
Initially I thought the gasket between the oil filter housing and the engine block was at fault but Iam not convinced as yet.
The oil seems to be escaping from under the alternator area down eventually coating the Aircon compressor. Before I remove any bits including the alternator has anyone got some idea based on their experiences? I know it still could be the oil filter housing but underbonnet air turbulence could be moving the down flow of the oil leak towards and under the alternator?
regards
