Hi
I found oil leaking from the area of the oil pan. Wishbone, driveshaft and oil pan are wet of oil. What could be causing this? Oil pan gasket or something else? Everything else above seems to be dry. My saxo vtr begin to be annoying because there is always something wrong...Thanks

Jet steam it off and give a good clean for where all the wet oil is. Once dry get some cardboard under the car and leave under engine part. then if its dripping in places you can get an idea where coming from.

If you got in all them areas could be cv boot inner and out id check them to see if split on outer or oil leaking on inner oil can be a messy at times and goes all over place.. Cloud also be oil sump and maybe need new seal. Could be a number of things causing it need to find where the oils coming from Could even be coming out gearbox for where gear linkage is had leak dripping down traced and found needed new seal on gear selector unit replacing. Just a matter of cleaning all the oil off it. Take it for a small run for about 5 mile or so round the block or something a few times dry and good conditions not to get crap under it. Then get under it again and locate where wet oil is.
