S160 Oil Leak - from near Oil Cooler

[The Cakes]

Jon is brilliant and will have that sorted in no time. Anyone wondering where to go for a service in Leicester he's your man. I drive from Chesterfield to see him, that's how good he is.

Quick update - I now have the car back. The hoses were well and truly knackered and the leak was pretty bad when pressurised, ie engine running. They were 17 years old though, and very rarely inspected due to being concealed in the sills and above the arch liner. 

I now have fresh new silicone ones from Pirtek. Also had a B service at the same time, all done by Jon Saunt (Lotus specialist, LegacyStorm, Leicester). Jon really knows his stuff, decades of experience with Lotus, and even he said the hose replacement was a bugger of a job - he had problems with the unions etc.

Had a great drive back this evening after collecting it. I had forgotten how bloody brilliant these cars are. It has only been a month since I drove it....must get my memory checked  

Thanks for all the help/advice.
