Was wondering if any other 2.2dci owner's have had this problem. My 04 reg is regulary serviced by me an has done this even when nissan done it. Story is it keep's leaking from the oil filter make sure filter is tight move's slightly an only just. Tonight outside the shop see a rainbow effect on the floor thought could be any one's car.....get home see it on the drive. Check under neath my new filter is covered in oil made sure it was tight moved a tiny bit. This filter was replaced in july under warranty ! A neighbour's 2.2dci x trail doea the same thing !
 
It is bit off a odd random problem ! Thank's for that idea never thought of that as the bit the filter screw's to look's like aluminium . I only use genuine part's too could try one from one of our supplier's at work i guess .
 
I checked to make sure there was no old seal stuck to anything last time in july . Was hoping it would be that simple but no chance with the luck i have :/
 
You sure its definately the filter thats leaking, I've got a slight oil leak from the front timing cover which seems to drain down over the oil filter, mines not to bad and all that happens is it appears to slowly fill the the bit round the top of the filter, I can imagine if it got worse then it could look like the filter was leaking.
 
Hmm I hope it's not an issue with Nissan filters as servicing mine today before JAE so could do without it developing a leak!
