Can't really as it was serviced by them by the previous owner.

Oh well it doesn't really matter now anyway as it's going to be serviced next month. :)

Take it back to the vauxhall garage and bollock them for shoddy work man ship.

I've used like half a litre of 10W40 in the past 3 weeks so far... :(

Thing is though, if that part has been fitted by a Vauxhall dealer (it's a Vauxhall filter), why is it leaking? I remember the previous owner saying it was serviced in January (04). Maybe it wasn't fitted properly?

Burnt ya seals by running the engine dry :lol:

:lol: state of that! That could be quite serious mate

It's not my fault the previous owner didn't do anything to it. :(

I think I've spent at least £500 so far 'fixing' that car in the short period of time I've had it. Be worth it in the end though I think.

Numpty.

Once I get the car serviced (and the filter changed obviously), gonna have to get the bottom of the block cleaned - it's all soaked in oil.

Must have been like that for ages, as it looked oily when I bought the car... :mad:

:lol: Maybe :|

I love my Astra. It's got so much "character"... :lol:

... and has a burning smell/smoke coming from the engine after driving?
