Vauxhall zafira 1.8 elegance - Oil leak - goldfeather
I have bought this zafira a week ago. I have put in a garage to get it checked over. To my horror I have been told it has a major oil leak at front? I took it to another garage for a second opinion to be told it's a major oil leak at the back of the engine, which they said they put 3 litres of oil in. And I was told it was coming out as quick as it was going in!? When my car left the bay, I did not see any oil on the ground? And no oil warning lights has came on in the car. Could anyone help in telling me what would actually happen in both instances, as I'm at my wits end. I'm scared to drive it, & put my family in the car. Thank you
