Unexplained spill of oil

Hi all

The other night I got home coming to Ipswich from Brisbane, and the next morning there was a fair puddle of oil on the ground at the front left hand corner of the car and a heap of oil all up in and around the suspension at the front left wheel arche. That was Friday night, at the oil level hardly dropped then, and I have seen a drip of oil on the ground since.

Anyone had this. Do the zeds have some sort of oil purge system or something ?

Any information appreciated



Kind regards

Could be your seal for the steering has split & oil is sprayed from there?

 

could be your tension rod bushes leaking

 

Thats what I meant but couldn't think of the name! *slaps forhead*

 

Tension rod bushes leak a silicon fluid that is slippery to touch. Its

also clear so fairly easy to distinguish from other oils. Mine leaked a couple of months ago and got them replaced at next service with urethane bushes. Only about $40 + labour.

 

Replacing Tension Rod bushes

Hi,
I think I have the same problem. Where did you get the replacement bushes / get the work done. Did you replace both sides? How much was the total cost?
Thanks
