i recently changed the oil and filter on my 206 1.4hdi, there was on only 2.5-3 litres of oil in when i dropped it. I filled with oil (approx 4 litres) this left me wondering if there was an oil leak or was i burning oil? no leaks were apparent after a thorough look, however, after my 35 mile journey to work, i park up, and return to a small patch of clean oil under the car, but no signs on the engine of a leak???!!! there is a small, breather type pipe coming down in the area, could this be the source, am i going mad??!!
