    its nice when they dont leak oil, however do remember the car is 10 years old!, a oil leak could be coming from anywhere as oil finds the lowest point.

    is it engine oil or PAS/transmisson fluid

    hi,thanks for your reply,it definatly looks like engine oil,i think its dripping down into the engine cover,then onto the drive,i keep checking the dip stick and its always bang on,i think il have to get it up on a ramp and take the metal covers off and have a look,hopefully fingers crossed it will be a hose or something and nothing serious
