Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed a leak under the engine - not a massive leak, a spot around 3 - 4 inches in diameter after standing a couple of days.
I stuck some newspaper underneath it to check it and the fluid is clear and is an oil based liquid.
I haven't noticed any problems whilst driving.
The leak is roughly underneath the passenger seat (the one closest to the window). I can see underneath the rough area of where it's coming from but can't see exactly where.
Any idea what could be leaking? And how urgent a job is it? I could take it to a local garage a mile away and pay through the nose for it to be sorted or I could drive 50 miles to my trusted cheap Transit mechanic (and I'm planning to visit friends in a few days and the Transit mechanic would only be about 5 miles off my route to visit them).
So is it safe to do an hour's motorway drive or should I not drive it except to the local mechanic?
