Asked by Rui Mendes
I have noticed there are oil droplets where I park my VY Series II Holden Calais. On closer inspection the area between the engine and gearbox seems to be bathed in dark oil. There is also a rattle from the right rear wheel when I go over a bumpy road or a speed bump. What do you think might be causing these problems?
Answered by CarsGuide
3 May 2012The oil is probably coming from the rear main oil seal on the crankshaft. It's relatively common and shouldn't be of great concern providing it's not a large pool of oil. Check the engine oil level regularly and if you see it dropping rather quickly have a mechanic check the leak. There are anti-rattle washers in the brakes and they are sometimes lost or not replaced when the brakes are serviced, so have a brake specialist check them for you.
