Ok, doubt me, but I've seen screwdrivers go through a sump that has become almost paper thin due to corrosion. | |

:lol: yeah, ok, it has other liquid componts, but the gb on the vauxhalls are pretty strong, you shouldn't ever really need to worry about that. | |

Corsas are notorious for rotting sumps, they tend to become porous and oil can seep through eventually. Not saying that this is the problem in your case but you could try prodding the sump with a screwdriver. | |

Can't see any, all seems pretty clean around the engine, just usual dirt. Like i said, there is residue that is very slowly forming drips on the bottom of the engine. I don't know what bit its on, its a domed area to the left of the sump as i look from the back of the engine. | |

Its not the oil filter and its's not the sump but there is residue around the bottom of the engine and i've checked the oil level and it does seem slightly high. | |

The car had a service about two weeks ago and the puddle has only just happened since monday night when i last used the car. Its only about 6" diameter and not pooling, just a layer on the floor. There's no oil splashed around the engine and couldn't see any running down the block. |
