Well, I have a problem with my Elise. I started up my car today after it sat in my garage for about 6 days. I had the 1000 mile service done about 2 weeks ago and have about 1300 miles on the car now.
I started the car, let it idle for about 15 seconds, turned the steering wheel to the left a little while pulling forward in 1st gear, and felt a little jolt in the car. I pulled it onto my driveway, hopped out and noticed a puddle under the front right corner of the car. I immediately shut the car down. The puddle started where I believe I felt the jolt and then trickled out to where I stopped the car. It appears to be coming from the oil cooler in the front right corner. There are little drips under the front bumper directly under the oil cooler. It sure smells like oil. The car is being flat bed towed to LoA tomorrow morning. (straps on wheels) I can't find any damage to the car and the oil level is fine.
I am really curious as to what this could be. Does anyone have an idea what it could be? The car showed no signs of any problems prior to this happening.
Thanks,
Dan Parker
