Spilt Engine Oil? ? ?

[Aship]

Hi Guys,

I'm using a viva elite and it is my 1st car.

I have driven it for 3 months and done the 1st service.(mileage just above 1900Km)

Today I saw engine oil around oil cap and side of the engine as well. I'm not sure whether it has happened during the service.

Do I need to show this to the agent or is there any other way to check whether there is a leak.

I have no knowledge about automobiles.

Thanks a lot

Check your oil cap, perhaps the monkeys at the agents did not tighten it properly.

Some times when they filled oil they have spilled oil all over your engine did not clean that area, take a clean cloth clean the oil and tighten the oil cap tightly.

Because your car is new there cannot be a oil leak on the engine filling area. This may be a fault of the service station.

Hi Guys,

I saw in the manual, if there is split oil it can cause to fire;

Without noticing I might have driven the car. Today I felt like inspecting the engine/engine oil etc.

Now, I have a doubt that whether there be a issue due to this.

i think first of all you need to clean all the are which oil spilled. after tight your oil cap.then you drive your car as it is & check the engine room. since this is a brand new car & just passd 2000 km's we cant expect such a thing. just update us.

Sure; Thanks for the reply

Did you check the oil level of the engine. As it is a new engine, I do suppose no leaks, just to be in safe side. As others suggested tight the oil filler cap and clean the spilled area. Think the service folks spilled it, I have seen very irresponsible people at reputed places......................

After cleaning I drove for about 25Km distance today there's no sign of oil coming out. And the cap also was not loose. They might have spillt it over during service and I might have not seen as I have not inspected thoroughly till yesterday.

What is the reading on your dipstick..............that matters.

Put the warm engine car on a level ground. Stop the engine and keep it there for 20mins and check the dipstick. Just in case the mechanic did spill the stores issued amount and did not fill your engine well enough................
