Hi guys, back again but this time with an oil leak. Looks to be coming from what I assume is some kind of oil breather at the rear bottom of the engine, and was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues / do the o rings on these fail / should I look at replacing he o rings or just re-fitting it? Second is the oil st the intake manifold, there seems to be a lot more oil up there than I'm comfortable with with some pools in places, again, is this a common issue with these 1.0 engines and does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this leak/ does it look bad enough to warrenty trying to repair it? Currently getting the car ready for another European road trip so trying to make sure everything is in as good as shape as possible. Thanks!

Hi, I have a problem. I checked the oil level yesterday and it was at a minimum. I added the oil I measured a little arrived on the dipstick. Today, the car is on a level road, the engine is cold, the level is a bit more. I poured oil again. I check the level in an hour and he is in the same place. Strange.. There are no leaks under the car, no exhaust fumes ... What is going on?

Hi Advice please - I have an VW Lupo 1.4 Automatic 1999 with 83k miles on the clock. It has an oil leak. I have been nursing it for the past year or so (topping up oil). The garage has said it could be the sump gasket and/or crank shaft gasket plus the engine breather/oil separator looks quite wet. The quotation to have all of the above fixed (including cambelt and waterpump change) is £894, which sadly is more than the car is worth I am going to get rid of the car as it is not economically viable for me to have all the work done, however does anyone have any advice on how I might be able 'recycle' it in anyway? For instance does anyone need any parts or shall I just scrap it? We Buy Any Car.com have offered £110 on line (based on mileage being 150k). I may see if a local college would like it for apprentices to work on or something? ... Thoughts and advice please Thank you. K
