Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / October 2005Leaky X-Type
I have an X-Type, 10 days shy of being 3 years old, and just noticed a fluid leak on the driveway, looks like a couple of distinct oil patches, which makes me think something has occured within the last 2-3 days. I took a look underneath and noticed fluid dripping (slowly) from here: http://gallery.jake.org.uk/Cars/20051007_0001 - notice the dark patches (click the photo for the enlarged version). It's in for its 3 year service on Tuesday, but in the mean time does anyone know what it might be?

I didn't think it was engine oil because of where it's appeared, it could be what you describe. Anyway, I'm phoning the dealer now because I've just noticed the PDI was done three years tomorrow! Jake Get your complaint in writing - Not in writing it does not exist !! >>>I have an X-Type, 10 days shy of being 3 years old, and just noticed a >>> fluid leak on the driveway, looks like a couple of distinct oil [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Jake >might be a shot in the dark...but when mine went for it's final service just >before it was three years old the dealer noticed a small leak in the power >steering pump and fixed it under warranty. ..might be it. > >pete Leaking shaft seal, so presumably power steering fluid. They're fixing it under warranty on Thursday :) Jake On the subject of power steering, why would my steering go stiff at idle when I'm trying to turn, like when parking. Usually a little roll & some rpms get it going again.

That does make the steering very stiff and makes the Jag dealer very eager to fix the problem. Paul |
