Hi Guys,
The other day i noticed a few drops of oil in my garage, had a look around and think i might have found the cause.. Is this common ?
Can it be fixed easily ?

dead easy fix...
there is a circlip which you need to prise out...be careful not to loose it!
be careful as it comes free...the valve behind is spring loaded and will pop out a little...
There is (or should be) a rubber 'O' ring around the neck of the valve...Replace this and put it all back together..
Took me around 15mins and that included 5 or so hunting for the correct size of 'O' ring!!
