Hi everyone,
I've noticed recently that my car has been leaking a tiny bit of oil everyday, its near my ns fr. Does anyone know what it could be and if its serious? Its quite possible i've hit something at the front, as my car is stupidly low at the front. Also i noticed it took along time for me car too turn over last night, it normally turns over straight away!
Its a 1999 1.6 sport by the way.
Essay over!
Pics here to see how low it is!

You've probably caught the sump socket or plug on a speed bump repeatedly and its ground the metal away and now you have a pin hole leak.

Well if its the plug, couple of quid to replace. If its the socket I'm not sure if it can be welded or if you would need to replace the sump.

avoid steel sumps like that^^^ go for a genuine alloy one.
