Oil cooler

[Mark farmer]

Hi I'm new to lotus forum I have a lotus elise s2 k series standard 2001. I was wandering if the car has a oil cooler fitted up front as I have noticed a few drops of oil on the passenger side I'm not sure if it's my car or another kind regards mark farmer

A standard K-series S2 doesn't have an oil cooler.  Some people have fitted them, although not usually up front.  I think the 111S had an oil cooler as standard.  Are you sure it is engine oil?  Could it be brake fluid?  Damper fluid?

Hello and welcome 

As above:  It didn't have an oil cooler and it would be located there if it did.    Have you got any pictures - both of the leak and the car ?

Your usual suspects are:

a) brake fluid

b) damper fluid

c) coolant

d) washer fluid (?)

e) Another car with a oil leak parks in the same spot as you.

Good luck

Lol, welcome to the world of K series paranoia, mines usually more to do with constant smell of coolant even though I know its all fine! 😂

Get A sheet of cardboard and put under, that way you will know if it's your car and where about it's dripping from
