Oil leak (and need PET help) UPDATE: Leak found added pictures
My car has started dripping. It was so nice to have a new car and not have the drips that used to follow the C4 around...that lasted all of 6 months!! :P
The C2 has a leak that appears to be coming from the large oil pipe under the right rear wheel arch, right where it connects at the rearmost point.
I have skimmed through PET but each time I think I've found it, it always turns out to be incorrect. It seems the 964 oil lines are like human intestines and once removed can encircle the planet numerous times...
Can anyone identify that line for me and provide a part #?
(also I need to replace the oil sender)
Thanks,

Hi, I am having the same problem. My mechanic said there are two short hoses above that sump/thermostat/pressure relief valve that go up to oil tank that are the culprit. I am going to order them later today and will get part numbers. In the bentley book the diagram is on page 78= lots of hoses!

In my case the reason for the leak in there was a corroded washer
If you don't have them, get these wrenches...
great for the limited space you have in there (well, only ones that will fit... Pelican has them). Clean the area and try to tighten the hose first before doing anything else... if that does not cure it then get a few washers and change them for both hoses. That should take care of it.

Ohh... I don't do like I did... use flat/smooth SS hose clamps... not the slotted ones... better for the hoses....

Jaime, thanks for all the pics! originally I thought it was #54 but looking at the pic on pelican that isn't it.
I'll whip the wheel off later and get a better look but peering behind with a torch I could see the drop formed on what I think is the area you show in your pics (but with the wheel arch liner in place).
I'll get a picture and see if we can confirm exactly which hose it is, then if either the hose, washers or other associated hardware is the culprit i can source and order quickly.
Thanks, as always,

EDIT: Yes, I just checked and the area shown on the top pic is EXACTLY where the leak is. The metal sleeve portion of the hose that connects to the hole shown in the pic is completely soaked. The Which hose is that in the PET diagram and what is the part# for the washer?

Once you clean the area, run the engine and you will find it.

That liong oil line can also begin to seep oil through the rubber hose section and then flow towards the connections and make you think it is the connection. Try to clean it very well and then discover where the leak is really starting from.
To clean the thermostat, use simple green and a toothbursh and rinse with water.
