Video on how to spot oil leaks

As 90% of our engine rebuilds are incurred due to oil starvation to the engine, we thought it would be useful to create a 'how to' about oil leaks. We have put together some film pointing out the most common areas of leakage, how to deal with them and the ones to worry about.

In every mechanical Figaro restoration project, we always check for perished rubber as this often causes oil leaks. Most Figaro's that have not been restored in detail are prone to oil leaks of at least one type. Some are more important than others!

Other than looking under the car, the best way to spot oil leaks is to look on the ground underneath you have just parked the car. N.B. Don't forget to check the ground when you first park as lots of car parks and spaces already have oil stains. The colour of the stain can also be a good clue as to what fluids your Figgy is losing!
