Just went to my local McDonalds for my daily (doctor recommended) 20 nuggets, a guy got out of a honda infront of me and started talking about E30's and that he owns an M3 and he used to come on here and bought something of ant.

Anywho he asks to pop the bonnet and within seconds finds my oil leak I knew I had but couldn't find instantly!

Top bloke! If you come back on, nice to have met you and get your arse back on the home of the E30.

Just need to sort my potential fire ball of a car out now! 8O

no doubt about it mate! If I booted it back to work like I normally do after getting my grub, I might have burnt me nuggets!!!!

Fule is the stuff the get burnt and powers the engine, while oil lubricates the metal> :oops: :oops:

Definately fuel!!! I get out of the car smelling like I have just had a bath in old spice.

Its the pipe that goes into the fuel rail! The reason I couldn't find it before is because everytime I have looked the car had been stationary for sometime, but he looked at it with the engine runing after I had just given it a booting. 8O
