I went out to my car earlier and spotted a trail of oil running away from front right of car. I checked the engine bay and everything seems alright. The oil level on the dip stick isn't dropping either. I've a buddy picking her up tomorrow to take her to a garage. What can this be if the engine oil level isn't dropping? I know my shock is goosed but could it possible leak that much? Could it be brake fuild?

I'm stumped lads.

Is it on the front right hand side if your sat in the car or stood in front of it mate? If it's on the drivers side front could be your oil cooler possibly

Oil filter too?

Look under the car for drips.

Smell the oil, if it's kinda petrolly type smell tilt be engine oil, if it's a cat pee smelling its gearbox etc, then if neither probably brakes.

You'll see where it's coming from with a look under and torch though. You having a right time at the mo aren't ya!
