rossvr6 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Alright chaps did an oil change at the start of january and already its at the minimum mark! Checked it a few weeks ago and it was half way between min and max on the dipstick so thought I'd keep an eye on it. Found it was very low this morning.Haven't noticed any on the ground before or found any leaks yet. So... valve stem oil seals maybe? Cheers, Ross Link to post Share on other sites
