Engine problem
1998 Hyundai Accent Engine Size unknown Front Wheel Drive Manual 555OO miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, i bought a used car yesterday. The bloke said that he had over filled it with oil. Noticed that when i turn engine on it is leaking quite a lot of oil from the bottom and oil round where the oil goes. i was told from a mate that its most probably the rocker gasket cover. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, most of the time when you over fill the engine with oil it can blow out the front or rear main seal, please go over this guide to help find the leak to confirm the issue,
