Car has been leaking a bit of oil for ages, still not been able to work it out (cos I am thick  )
The blue ringed area seems to be where most of it is sitting, although as you can see it has spread over part of the sump as well, but I think thats just the oil running down.
Any ideas?
Few more piccies as it was up on the ramp of the area:
And a shot with my groovy P plate (the missus has just started driving, after passing her test 6 and a half years ago!)
