Hiya a few weeks ago i had an oil leak on the drivers side.Turned out to be the head gasket.This has been sorted but now its developed another leak,this time its dead centre of the engine,its quite a big oil leak this time.Every morning there is a leak of the ground of about 6inches in diamiter.Wondered if anyone had any ideas on what this could be

Sump plug or oil filter not tight enough? Try grabbing the oil filter and twisting it as tight as you can by hand, it's easy.

most likely the sump gasket has gone or leaking!!!! best to clean the bottom and see where the oil is coming from
