Asked by Tania Lamb
I am considering buying a 2006 Holden Astra with only 14,000 km on clock from a dealer. The vehicle inspection has revealed an oil leak in the gearbox - a 'leak at lower cover'. How can I be sure that the problem has been satisfactorily fixed?
Answered by CarsGuide
18 Mar 2010It's hard to be sure without driving it for a time and observing for the leak. Before taking delivery check the paperwork to see that the dealer has attended to the problem, and keep a copy of the vehicle inspection report for later reference if needed. It's not unusual for cars to develop oil leaks, most do.
