    Hi

    I have a 960 that is showing signs of an oil leak on the drive where
    it is parked.

    I was under the car the other day and noticed the area behind the oil
    filter is wet with oil. This oil seems to track down to the gear box
    too, so I guess this is a pressure problem. There is a ribbed plastic
    pipe behind oil filter that is is well covered in oil.

    I have a video clip of the problem area if it helps.

    Any advice on where to start / favourite leakage points etc. ?

    Regards Ian

    Ensure that the filter is tight enough and any piping in the area has not got a
    leak.

    Cheers, Peter.
