They can be reached from the top, but I think it means rad out. Get a torch and have a good look, you should be able to see if it's them that's leaking.

I can see them both from the top but would need to remove the rad to change them I think, might be possible to change from below

The oil sensor can leak through the middle and need replacing.

This is the area of the oil dropping down.

I'll have to buy the sensors first before arranging to get the car to the garage.

Any places other than OEM that can be found? Again both these were new. That's why I am hoping they have just come loose.

I don't think I can reach them from the top as you say without removing the rad which I don't know how to do and can't do in my underground parking. I remember Brian's flexibility to reach them from the bottom but again I hate being under the car with just the wheel jack holding it.

Ok. I booked with Pete!

Rechecked and there is no leak from the sensors. Still get the leak from further forward of the oil pan going down the side.

My guess is either the sump or oil pump gasket

In that case I'm going with oil pump, there's no way the sump would leak that much just sat idleing.

That is a pain though because the sump will have to come off to remove the oil pump

did you find a garage mate?

[A80Avant]

Yup. Will have the car towed to Pete Berry. I think I have all parts covered.

Well if the sump was leaking it still had to come off anyway and I have gaskets for everything so hopefully it should be fine.

What can I say. Parts have become of very poor quality nowdays

Here we go again... hopefully everything will be an easy fix.

When you have these to worry about how can you ever think of improvements?
