Help needed

[Vitofishingcamper]

Hi I have had my Vito about 4 weeks now and it been great but 2 morning this week when we have had a frost I have had a big puddle of oil on the road after I started up,there is no oil leak rest of time just when it’s freezing,I’m going to give it a service at weekend but would like to know if anyone know where it could be leaking fro and why,any help would be appreciated thanks

For me that was the best time t try see where it was coming from but you obvs moved it ! Big oil leaks usually start out little , have you not noticed it before ??

Dose not leak oil rest of time it has only leaked when there was a frost.the first time it happened I did not know till I got home and see the puddle,and yes to look when it happens would be ideal but at 5 in the morning you can’t see alot

Use a white tissue and touch the puddle. Check the color. Check the smell.
Are you sure its not diesel?
Is there a guard plate under the engine?

Check all the fluids for a drop in the recepticals .
