Hi guys
So I took the under engine protection cover off today in order to get to the sump plug and change the oil.
While I was underneath I have a good look around with my head torch and noticed various areas that were wet to the touch, or at least wet enough to be shiny.
Some areas I would say were oil and others maybe other fluids.
What stood out the most was the alternator casing appeared to be soaked and the engine block next to it was wet also.
I've done 1000 miles since owning it for a few weeks and the oil level did not appear to go down in this time. The engine protector was not wet with oil or liquid either.
I've attached all the photos and circles the wet areas. Can someone tell me what the likely causes are and if any are of great concern?
Thanks!!
