My 1998 1.6xs 306, is leaking oil, i cannot see where it is coming from, it
is near the oil filter but doesnt look like it is coming from the oil
filter directly though.

It has got to the bottom of the power steering part, just near the oil
filter, and ive tried wiping it of, then when i go for a drive it comes
back, and starts to dripp small drops.

is there a common leak problem with t=306's, and can it be eaisly repaired
Any help considered
Any ideas,

thanks

Check the oil pressure switch just above the filter. Could be where
the switch screws into the block, or even from the switch itself, up
through the middle. If not maybe the head gasket at the corner just
behind the timing belt cover, and runnng down.
