RedM Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Just come back from a weekend away. After parking the car up I noticed a trail of what I'm presuming to be oil. Doesn't feel or smell oily though. Looked under bonnet in dark with crap torch and can see some oil around the front of the oil cap and a little on the top. Can't see that any has dripped down though. Too dark for any other tests without a decent torch. Could the fluid trail be down to the AC dripping. We only had it on for a while though.

michael Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Shoddy Toyota mechanic with a crap aim when they did your recent service perhaps? Fluid could be water trapped in an undertray that has come out because you've parked or turned in a specific way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 My car was recently using a lot of oil and I noticed that there was some around the oil filler cap. I changed that and it cured both problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 Mine is actually ON the oil cap. At the front edge when looking at it and slightly on top, in that little groove. Michael: I'm liking your water idea. Would the water stay in high speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Mine is actually ON the oil cap. Dirty hands? Michael: I'm liking your water idea. Would the water stay in high speed? Difficult to say, I'm just trying to be positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
