QLD Safety Cert (Roadworthy) - Oil leaks ??
Anyone know if a bit more than the odd drip falling from the sump will fail a Roadworthy ?!

The rwc will fail on oil leak if it has sprayed onto the under body of the car and the tyres, also if it drips infront of the person doing the rwc then it will fail, when we did rwc alot of people clean down the oil and then present it for rwc, with fingers crossed

Did you get the RWC in the end? I need to put my car through this week and don't know where to start. From what I have read oil leaks will cause a problem. Going by the lack of info and debates on BE I can assume it's a rather painless experience

Any oil leaks or excess oil on the engine means the car will fail its 'roadworthy' in Qld. It's more stringent than the British MOT

The guy was pretty thorough with brakes, seat belts, steering and stuff, but I guess a bit lenient with the oil leak (s)
Will PM you.
