I carry a supply of oil with me into the bush, and recently I noticed an oil smell but dismissed it as another Chev conversion stink. Today whilst unpacking the vehicle i found the source - a split 4L container of oil that had leaked into one of the side rear storage boxes - lost about 100ml I reckon, but what a mess, coated everything sitting on the bottom of the box. Seems the side walls could not take the load and the plastic simply folded, then split - brand new container of Valvoline . So, I have transferred the oil into a stiffer 2L bottle and a couple of 1L containers - first time this has happened, might be unlucky.
