Hi,I'm a new member to the club,got a 325 ci auto that has just started to develop an oil leak, can't see where it is coming from, any ideas as to the most common places to look out for?

Thanks.

    Try to determine what type of oil is leaking... Tranny/Power steering oil or Engine oil?

    Engine oil - Usually, either the Rocker gasket, Head gasket or Sump gasket, crank/cam seal...

    Tranny/Power Steering oil - Top or side of gearbox or rear output shaft seal... Power steering reservoir pipes or rack...

    Just a few places for you to look :unsure:

    Thanks DABSY, it,s slightly worrying, it could be a quick painless fix, or a very costly painfull one.
