Hi, I've noticed the cars started leaking oil, it's coming from the strangest of places, it's dripping from the front valance on the passenger side, just in front off the wheel. I've had a look about,but can't see any oil pipes in that area. The cars just had an oil change so the oil in the engine's clean but the stuff coming from the leak is old used black oil. Could this be coming from the air intake pipe or the intercooler pipe? I don't think there's much else in that area of the car.
Thaks,
Fangy.

I'd say it's the intercooler pipe, check the jubilee clips are fastened.

It's so easy not to do them up tight enough!
When Jim and I changed Cassy's alternator, I thought I'd done the clip that end of the intercooler up nice and tight, but coming out of work the next day, as I put my foot down, there was a pop and it had slipped off.
