	just fixed my rediculous oil leak, was a oil cooler pipe, alas, you dont got an oil cooler so its completely irrelevant, lol.

	if you work at vaux then get it up on the ramp and have a squint.... if there loads coming out then it should be easy enough to find :) about the oil change every week... you run the risk of waring the threads down on anything that is removed during an oil change... and also when you do jobs repeatedly its very easy to make a mistake or forget to tighen something... change you oil every 3k would be quite sufficent:thumbs:

	my c20xe is leaking. driving home and oil pressure gauge just suddenly dropped so i pulled over and its hammering out around the oil filter area. could this be the oil pump/gasket?
