It probably took me a while to notice this since it's winter here and while my parking spot is indoor, it is wet most of the time from the melting snow...but I do have an oil leak.
Now that it's been dry for a few days, I clearly see an oil leak on the pavement towards the passenger side but not at the edge...kinda in the middle of the engine but more on the passenger side.
I also see oil underneath the car on the cover but can't tell what's leaking unless I take the cover off which I'm not in a good position to do in my condo.
I checked the engine oil level and it's about 1/4"-1/2" above the top mark. Can this be the cause?
The engine runs absolutely fine and if it wasn't for the leak I would not have suspected anything.
I did see my fuel consumption going up a bit lately but it's been absolutely freezing here this past 2 weeks
I did have an oil change on December 29 at the dealer for what it's worth and the car only has 17,000 km.
I have an appointment at that same dealer tomorrow so we'll see but does anyone have any thoughts on what it could be?
Thanks!
