[QUOTE="alxy, post: 654621, member: 2947"] Be careful about topping up. First time that happened (i.e. warning sensor), I topped up 1 liter. Then when warning happened again about 1 week later, I topped up another liter. Then I thought the leak was getting really bad. Then light came again few days later. This time I topped up about 500ml only to test. True enough, despite the top-up, warning still came up after 30mins driving IMMEDIATELY after top-up. Leak can't be that bad as to lose 500ml in one 30min drive! In the end, while there was a leak, because of the faulty sensor, I ended up topping up too much! Mech told me about 6+ liters oil in the engine (supposed to be 4.5liters only)! Leak was not serious, though i fixed it for peace of mind. Was actually faulty sensor giving those top-up warnings.
