Hey guys, was pulling out of the garage today and noticed a huge oil leak. Can some let me know how I can upload photos?
I was in for an oil change yesterday and everything seemed fine. The usual, Ford Racing filter, Mobil 1 oil, completed at the dealer I bought the car from. I then drop the car about 160 km's. I did not notice anything abnormal, no lights, no warnings. I woke up this morning, took the car out of the garage and there was a huge puddle of oil underneath it. I drove it to the end of the driveway and parked it on the road. After getting the car flatbed towed to the dealer, they could not find anything wrong with the filter/install. Installed a new filter and topped the oil and I was on my way. Anyone have this happen to them before? Dealer said I lose about 1L of oil in total, and from the amount sitting on my garage floor, driveway, and street, seems like it happened overnight.
I wonder how much I have hurt the car from all this.
And if we really want to start digging into it, the only abnormal thing I have noticed recently is a ticking when I accelerate. Note I have my center console removed for an MGW install this weekend, and I get a faint tick tick tick every time I accelerate, regardless of gear chosen. I am not sure this would even be noticed with the center console installed, but it is definitely something I have noticed recently (my center console has been off for weeks so I didn't hear it before). I also feel like it gets louder as the car gets hotter (note outside temperature in Toronto has risen to about 25C in the last couple days, before this it was 10-12C) and my run time nears 1 hour. This sound was present yesterday, and even today on the drive back from the dealer. Dont know if its related, but I guess its worth mentioning. Aside from this, I am lost for an explanation.
