Hi All,

I noticed I slight hissing from my engine bay at idle and, upon having a look today, have found that both sides appear to be leaking oil at what looks like the value covers.

Oil 0
Oil 1
Oil 2


Can anyone confirm if this is a usual problem on this car and how easy it is to sort? The hissing appears to be coming from the passenger side near where the oil is coming out so guessing it is the release of it that I am hearing? Worth noting that the oil is not running - more lumpy / congealed looking.

Thanks,

Andy
