    Hey guys/girls
    Just going to crawl under the patrol to see what needs doing and was wandering what I should be looking for in the way of oil leaks. I have a 4.5Ltr petrol

    Not sure what you are asking to be honest??

    Some of the main ones that are a worry are the rear main between the engine and gearbox... then there is sump gasket can leak and is more a pain in the ass than the end of the world..

    It there are any leaks you should give the engine a good clean as it is hard to tell where they are coming from.

    Pretty much what you said. Oil leaks. If you see oil leaking, then worry. As BA said. Not really sure what your exactly asking...

    Sorry just thought there might have been some common spot to look out for.

    No need to appologise bud. Your question was very general that's all. Just look and see. If you see a leak then come back to us. If you don't, then sweet.

    Car lifted? Tyre size? Are the front mudflaps still on the car?
