Hello friends, I have a RCZ, 200 HP manual, it has only got 65,000 ks on the clock, I have a few weeks ago, a few oil drops, now it is getting worst, what do people think it is??, and am stressing out, what it could be??, I only had it service approx 1,000 ks ago, and was all OK, It was done in another state!!, should I be worried??, or hopefully it may be simple??, I'm not sure where it is coming from, but seems in the middle, of the car!!, please give me the bad news first, and will it be expensive??, or could it be something simple!!, where I live it is about a few weeks, just to get a mechanic to have a look!!
Whats your thoughts??
Many Thanks
David

Could be as Pedro stated sump plug washer not replaced or over tightened.. May also be timing chain tensioner that has worked loose and just need to be nipped up

You have to see the engine from below, removing the plastic cover that has the engine underneath.

Nearby I can rent an elevator for €15 an hour. I've already used it to change the oil.
