    Default Leaking Oil After service

    hi ppls, got mycar serviced for the first time ever the other day. Have been flat out at work and didnt have the time to change the plugs on my vz v6. And am going on a road trip so i thought the once over by holden would do it some good, how bloody wrong was i.

    I have got it leaking oil about the size of a tissue box when i parked after an hours drive....and it smoking from under the bonnet. I looks like its leaking from above the air con compressor but bellow the oil filter assembly. Where could it be comming from, also i checked the oil dip stick and its about 1/2 inch to much...knew i shouldn have taken it in...just hope there working this week....
