Anybody know??

Post by discostu49 » Sun Jun 19, 2016 5:11 pm

Hi again

So had a good day going over the car giving it a good wash and polish and had a look under the car just to get used to it and noticed and old oil patch under the car..there's no oil on my drive it seems it's an old patch can usually tell with the dirt in it and no clear sign on a oil drip or run and is not wet to the touch. Also car was in mrc last week for a service so assuming they would have had it on the ramp and would have addressed if they seen it. Anybody know what component or part of the car with oil in this area? In my old car the diff was located about here.

It's the area before the cats and the resonators

So does anyone know what could have caused the oil patch?? E.g. what is in the area between the cats and the resonator? ?

There's nothing directly above or even around that area so it must be tracking from further forward as a guess as the rear diff is too far behind, the centre diff is at the rear of the GB and is too far forward, the fuel lines/pump are infront of the right rear wheel and are too far away.

You also have H&R anti roll bars fitted I see, did MRC do that for you?
