[QUOTE="Vincent Hor, post: 606488, member: 1221"] Ibrahim, this cannot be happening since you have just did all the necessary during the last service. 2 things comes to my mind. 1. Your mechanic made some mistakes installing the fresh seals during your last service or 2. It's a fresh leak elsewhere. However I believe that your mechanic should be competent enough to handle the job which leads me to be of the opinion that it's something else. First determine what is the color of the oil stains. This will give you some indications what is leaking. My suggestion is to use a powerful torch light to check these areas 1. Steering rack, 2. Power steering pump 3. The high pressure hose 4. Under the car the Auto Transmission. You can also place some old newspaper directly under the GB and also directly under the fire wall (if the vacuum pump leaks it will stain here) Btw park the car on level ground if you are running this test. Lastly, have you check the level of engine oil or the power steering fluids? [/QUOTE]
