Oil can travel across engine surfaces, making the lowest wet point a poor guide to the true source. We identify the highest active leak and may clean the engine or use UV dye when needed.
Small leaks can be monitored, while leaks onto belts, exhaust components or electrical systems can require earlier repair. The severity and location determine priority.
Common reasons to book
- Oil spots on driveway
- Burning oil smell
- Engine undertray wet with oil
- Oil level dropping
- Leak source unclear after previous repairs
What we can assess
