oil spots on floor
I have 2 months til im back in the states. My wife said the car, when she pulled it out of the garage a few days ago, had a few drops of oil under it. I was wondering if that could be from it not running daily. The car is started and drove once a week. Would the gasket on the oil pan dry up or something? I'm not sure if its coming from the oil pan, i just hope its an easy fix!

if the oil was changed recently then some oil will drip from the steering rack. sometimes oil builds up on it and will drip down if you forget to wipe it clean. why would oil drip from there well because the filter is right above it.
|
but the oil hasnt been changed in 4 months, its just been garage kept and driven once a week. Maybe after 4 months of being parked some oil just dripped you think? If a car sits and is started every 3 or 4 days, and driven once every week or once every two weeks then nothing should go horribly wrong right?

unless the leak is pronounced it should be fine. Have her check the oil once in a while. It's not hard.
|
maybe the oil plug rattled loose? lol
|
I wouldn't worry about it. my car drips here and there sometimes...and I actually have a few leaks...but as far as a "few drops"... I wouldn't worry about that.
|
ok cool. She kinda freaked me out when she said "oil on the floor" so i was expecting something bad about to happen. I hope all is well when i get back home.
