hi - had a full service done last fri (plugs, oil & oil filter replaced etc) then took it for a drive of about 100 miles on the Sunday & next morning a major oil leak on driveway, strange engine noise & oil light lit up on dash.
Oil leak apparently from cam shaft seal (it was pouring out when started & on the hoist) but not related in any way to the service according to the repairer !????
Repairer then replaced cam shaft seal & timing belt (due to oil contact) - my question is could the mechanic have caused this problem in some way ? The car has had no problems since i bought it 9 months ago.
appreciate your help
