Ok as some know, the purple beast is in the middle of a service, and some extra bits and pieces.

basically the car at the mo has rad out, aircon been removed, and most other parts removed to get to timing belt etc etc...

 

Now.....

 

Had battery disconnected and out of car, but popped it back in while testin new stereo, then took it out again. Then next thing i noticed is that there's

oil all over the floor :confused:

 

So my question is what squirts oil and from where, when the ignition is on?? (not fully turned on, but one click from firing the car up) I thought oil was just moved around when engine was started, but i never turned her over

 

Confused as fook, not to fussed as gonna do oil change anyway, just wanna know where its come from.

 

Cheers Guys

Defo mate, got me baffled lol, car has sat on the stands (i need a lift lol)

for ages and hasn't leaked, then the only thing that

changed was the battery. then there was OIL.

Well for deffo won't 'pump' out without engine running so you must have a pipe or sommat loose and just coincidence! :o

You say you've disconnected the air-con... have you left the compressor or some of the pipe work in there? Since there's a good cupfull of oil in the aircon circuit.

 

Just a thought....

Where did the oil appear to come from?

The same thing happened to my car, but on closer inspection it was a leaky fuel line that spurted fuel over a particularly dirty part of the engine, and consequently what looked like oil was leaking from the bottom of the engine. I thought 'oh no, what a nightmare' but in the end only took a quick tweek of a hose clip and all was fixed.

 

Another thing to check is if it is hydraulic fluid or oil?
