02reg C5 Hdi Sx Oil Levels

[mark]

Hi All,

I have had my C5 for about a month, on the screen i keep gethng a message telling me to top up engine oil levels. I have done this 3 times now! I have noticed on the driveway under the engine there is 3 spots of oil.

 

Has anyone else had this warning message come up?

 

Where is the best place to get it look at in teesside?

 

If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

cheers mark.

What does the dipstick show? I always fill mine to the upper mark on the stick.

If you overfill the oil it will give the same message on the display as if its under filled.

Hi,

When the message come up the level was just below the half full mark,

I top it up to about the max line. Its the drips on the driveway that is worrying me don't what the engine to run dry.

It might just be that the sump plug hasn't been tightened correctly. I would remove the undertray, clean the bottom of the engine, then, after a couple of days, you can see where oil might be leaking from. My daughter's Xsara had the same fault a few months ago. I hadn't got the oil filter tight enough.

i bough a patterned oil filter for mine from a factor and it didn't seal properly. looked the same as the one that came off but when I started the engine the oil just ran out.

Changed for a oem and it was ok

Check your intercooler for oil
