Moved the zed out of the garage , washed it dried it off put it back in the perfectly dry garage and where the car was there is now a plate size puddle of oil.....how !!! The car has only done 150 miles since getting it back and again problems....getting so fed up ....keep an eye in the for sale section

Get underneath it and see where its coming from Steve.

How bizarre... May not be a leak as such, maybe a previous leak that has just dripped off previously oily bits of the engine.

 

I loved my Zed... But it's by far the biggest money pit out of the 20yr old + cars I've had.

 

Hope it's nothing major

i will do Gary when i get back to the UK...i was so dissheartened only wanted to clean her up and now i have another issue to deal with ...bloody zeds

Feel for you mate, know what a journey you've been on with this car. Get this little issue sorted and you can start to enjoy driving it. Let's hope for a cracking year weather wise :cool3:

im sure it will be something and nothing mate.....ill have a look see when i get home ..might be just the turbo oil feed pipe or something...

 

oh and to add insult to injury some as*wipe has scrawled a key or nail or screw all over the drivers side rear quater panel and hatch lid ...tried polishing it out but i just know they are there...it can only have been done on my drive as the car is sorned until i get back...Jealouse little toe rags ..fuming !!

Do you want me to see if my mate can try some of his magic machine polishing on it when your back mate? If you want to do it give me a shout, youve still got my number right?

 

Silly question but you havnt tried to put some oil in it have you? If youve missed when putting it in and got it on the undertray etc and its drained of whilst sat in the garage?
