   Went and checked the dip stick today was about 3mm below the minimum oil line
   
   Thought shit.....
   
   I only done a full oil change about 2 1/2 month ago... Checked under the coolant cap and all seemed fine and under the oil cap all fine. No blue smoke or anything from the car runs fine apart from that..
   
   Where can the oil be going ?
   
   Will need to get a good look around the bay and under the car.. Just needed places to have a good look at
   
   40 quid for 5 litre and its gone lol gutted i went 5w40 fully synthetic this time so thinner oil i had 10w40 semi synthetic castrol last year and seemed ok
   
   Cheers

   rocker cover,front corner of head gasket just behind cam belt cover,sump gasket, cam seal are all the usual oil leak suspects
