Hey All, Hope your well.
As per title ever since I did an oil change I've noticed a bad oil leak....
Weekend just gone me and my dad did the crank shaft seal thinking it was that and did the cam belt at the same time. But apparently it wasn't that..
Going to a garage later on to be sure but there's always a pool of oil on the floor when i park up. Plus the dipstick is very hard to read as its a poor design so that makes it even harder to judge the oil levels.
The oil seems to be dripping out of the oil sump and around the alternator...
Any ideas and is it okay to drive atm?
102k miles 1.4lx 51
Cheers

Went to peugeot, horrible news...its the head gasket....but apparently its not a bad failure, not a "combustion" failure and that i can still drive it its just an oil leak but will cost me £450 to fix.
Anybody on this forum that does head gaskets?
