I have an oil leak from my car which is quite slow, but ends up with a fair mark on the driveway after a night of being parked. The leak is at the front of the car, only a few inches back from the bumper and when I had a look under, there was oil on a rod not far from the bumper, no idea what it is. Anyone fill me in what it might be?
Is it red or black? My first answer would be the power steering return line on the pump could have a loose clamp, that will leak power steering fluid down onto the sway bar then onto the ground.
The rod is black
checked your oil filter done up tight and tappet cover gaskets are not damaged and in tight
Power steering i'd say too, mine does the same, although is it an auto? there's a trans fluid line that runs across the bottom of the radiator that connects the two transmission coolers in which are in each radiator tank, could have a crack or a loose fitting there too.
