Your mechanic probably left the sump plug loose and wasnt about to admit it.

well we lifted the car and looked under there is no oil leaks we topped it up its fine now but what should we do?
Yes I would firstly check the Sump Plug and make sure its done up reasonably tight.
Also check the Oil filter and make sure its not loose. If the oil filter is loose, it will leak oil from the seal.
My previous VY Commodore leaked from the Oil Filter which was a Volvoline Filter, and even after replacing it with a new Valvoline Oil filter, it still leaked.
Ended up using a Ryco filter and never had the problem again.

If there was oil on the ground, then it has to be leaking from somewhere. If it was burning oil then there wouldn't be oil on the ground.

Yeah your right, if it has got an oil leak then it should be covered by warranty still. Let us know if they find anything.

They shouldn't be allowed to do that. Only problem I had with Holden was when I took my Statesman there to get the reverse sensors fitted. When I got it back they changed a radio station and turned the bass level up, so they were messing around with the stereo a bit.

Big deal, the cars are fine to do that with.

He obviously cares about his car (like I do), and doesn't want people thrashing it around. I'd be pretty pissed off if someone did that to one of my cars when theres no need for it.
Yes they can get in big trouble if caught doing that....however it is possible it was the drivers Maloo...still not good practice in front of customers

My MY10 VE SV6 burned quite a but of oil up to about the 30,000 mark. Seems to be a common problem that fixes itself. Just keep a good eye on your levels.

Got a funny mate? If I knew you, I'd pour oil under your car for fun.
