  • Oil leak?

    Hi my DS3 has been absolutely fine. Took in for MOT and service yesterday. MOT pass no advisories. On to FULL service. When I picked the car up he said there was oil on the exhaust but it could be to old oil filter/?? etc and it should be ok with the new one.
    Took it home (2 miles) and parked up I could smell a burning smell. I thought it must be because of new parts from service etc so I left it.
    Moved car next day from drive and there was a significant puddle of oil underneath near to front centre.
    called mechanic and he took it back to garage to change some seal. He brought it back and said if it happens tommorrow again to let him know as he can’t find a leak!! (Although he saw the fresh oil on drive). My argument with him was if I had a oil leak as significant as that then how on earth did it pass it’s MOT? He said it could be just a coincidence that the leak occurred at the same time. I’m just confused as what to do next.

    Hi. MOTs dont monitor oil levels.

    Are you monitoring oil levels? If its significant oil loss cant see why the mechanic couldn't find it? If it just had a service and was fine before, I would guess no oil sump plug washer, or incorrect/badly fitting oil filter and/or seal

    There is an undertray underneath the engine (Should be anyway) which may prevent a minor oil leak showing for a while, until thers enough oil to dump on the road.
