I seem to be getting putty/ cream coloured oily patches on the drive; roughly in the corners with the worst/ largest around the front nearside wheel.

It's a 56 Td4 Adventurer, 15000 miles.

Any suggestions as to what it could be?

Cheers,

Johnny.

The "creamy" colour is likely due to moisture - damp ground - mixing with oil droplets.

As to the actual oil drips at all corners - dunno

but,

the nearside front could be the Fuel Burning heater exhaust

may be prudent to actually check oil in your engine to make sure its not emulsified,(water in oil, creamy colour).

Thanks.

All levels are spot on; and all fluids appear to be as they should be. Hmmm...

All four corners of the car! perhaps you've driven through summat?

how long has it been like that? if it's only just happened then maybe it just needs a jet-wash under the arches.

oil would show as multi coloured on a wet driveway.
