Oil question (Please help)
Oil question (Please help)
I had my oil changed yeterday, I am going to drive from NY to MI tonight (about 10 hours), this morning I noticed a slight oil stain on my garage floor, I lifted the car and it looks like the oil is coming from somewhere above the driver side turbo, I checked to see if the drain screw was tight, it was, everything else seems tight, could it be when they changed the oil filter some old oil leaked down?
What should I do at this point? I have a 10 hour drive ahead of me, I'll bring some extra oil just in case it is something serious.
does anyone have any other ideas of what this may be?
Thanks.

Ron,
Following is a picture of the various drain locations for an oil change. Other than these, the only other engine part that was touched was the filter which is up top.

It is conceivable that the shop was messy pulling the filter out and spilled oil up there. It could have found its way down to the floor. Check the bolts I have shown you and bring oil with you. Check you oil level at each fuel stop. I would hardly think it could be something catastrophic.
