small oil leak
Was having a bit of a gander under the D3 this morning and found an oil wet patch. I would imagine it has not got to a dripping stage but was quite damp with it, gave it a bit of a wipe off with a cloth and have posted some pics below.
The oil seems to bee on the the edge of the plastic protection strip below the bumper and on the front piece of structure where it meets the plastic strip.
Is this anything to worry about? Should I run it into the dealer or is this nothing to worry about.
Cheers Jason.
And another thing, why are the pictures I upload only about 1/4 of the size they are on my pc.
I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

Hi Pretty sure it's oil, wiped it off with a small white rag which was black by time I had finished, but looked like oil to me. I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!
