Hi.
When I went to check my car today it had no oil left in it. I know that it was full 3 weeks ago, and was woundering if anyone could tell me wot had likely caused it, from what I can see the back of the engine looks pretty covered.
by the way the car is a normal 205 GRD
Thanks
Doug

call me a wally or whatever else, just realised that the car is supposed to be on level ground when u check the oil, and it was pointing up the hill outside my house.
Turned it round and now all is good, I obviously have a messy engine,
Doug

Hi Doug,
Get your engine steam cleaned (cover the alternator and air intake with a plastic bag first). It will help you spot leaks and other problems before they get serious.
Oil down back of XUD engine is probably leaking cam cover gasket or thrown up by leaking drive shaft oil seals. Do you still have oil in the gearbox?
Regards,
