Hello, just as the title says, in the last six months I've had him, a new job and no time for either here or the vine inn!

Last Friday I called In a favour and got Chezzer put up on some ramps at the works garage to be given the bad news - I thought that the oil loss was due to some turbo issue or something, it turned out that I've got oil leaking from the "front left" of the engine and dripping down onto the coolant pipes for the turbo.

If this sounds very familiar its because I've already stuck it on frankies 5 pot club on FB. (yes that's me)

Can I do the job on my own? Realistically what do I need to get it right first time?
I've got a Haynes manual and some shiny spanners for spannering.

I new I shouldnt have let the wife drive it for 3 months.....
