    Oil on the Front Drivers Side Wish Bone

    Hi guys after coming back from Crail on Sunday I noticed some oil marks in the front drivers side wheel arch.

    I had a look this morning after taking it out my garage & there's oil on the wish bone.

    Thought it maybe power steering fluid but there seems to be plenty in the bottle(half way between min & max).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Andy.

    It will probably be the steering gaitor Andy that needs to be replaced

    A little oil will go a long way Andy and with the heat here just now it will be all the more fluid
