Oil spatter on rear

Oil spatter on rear

by Robgrav » Sat Mar 26, 2016 3:35 pm
Had a good trip out yesterday in the bus about 200 miles and all went well.
However I've noticed a lot of oil all over the rear of the bus. Nothing in the engine bay just all over the back end. What would cause this? Is it just a case of turbulent air at the rear when on the move and the odd oil drip.
Many thanks. Rob.

Yep, that's all it will be.

Could be gearbox oil though.

If you do have a leak...might help to park and place a sheet of paper down with a stone on each corner and ID where it is dripping from...
Helped on my mini...
Had leaks everywhere but managed to Track down n stop one by one..

I've tracked a few down and fixed them slowly but surely. But I'll have a look and see what's what when I get chance.
