Recently noticed some black oil drips on the driveway. Looking under the car next to the oil sump there is a round plastic casing which seems to be wet with oil after longer journeys. any ideas ?

Is it leaking from the oil filter housing, No.9 on the picture?
If yes, the filter housing may be slightly loose.
Hope this helps

yes i`d say the filter housing is loose to. has it had an oil change lately as they may not have done it up tight enough or forgot to put the rubber seal on it.

Worse case scenario is its been overtightend as its just plastic. I notice renault sell the cannister and oil filter together.
