Mysterious oil leak traced......

Noticed a bit of oil on rear arch thought I must have somehow drove through some and cleaned it off, next run out it reappeared and some along side of car, looked all over for a leak, nothing, accusump is down that side of car so was main suspect but bone dry, eventually traced to a leaking brand new front shocker, the oil must have been spraying out in a very fine mist.

Only found it as the car started to feel odd under hard braking, dipping to one side as if one brake was more effective than other, that's a GAZ warranty job then, knew I should have listened.

im shocked (haha) at the number of complaints that Gaz shocks get. I had a full set for the mini and they were fine, but on here its one a month.

You would think they would do something about it rather than all the warranty work!

Another company destined for destruction if they dont change their ways.
