How do you stop getting on the drive?
As title really - I've tried putting cardboard in the past down but it tends to run off and not soak in much.
I'm using one of those jerrycan/oil catch things which are good but I always drip some somehow
Any advice would be appreciated

I think you really should concentrate on sorting the leak.

I'll tell you what, I'll read a book on how to string a sentence together and try harder next time.
I was actually talking about dripping oil during an oil change. My golf is gonna have to be done soon and the scoob not long after that.
My scoob (or Rexy, as I've been calling it recently
) doesn't leak oil
Thanks for the replies dudes and dudess's

I liked the original post much more fun when selective words are missing and you have to fill in the blanks

As the subaru filter is vertical I never spill any when changing the oil, I use a oil change pan from machine mart, its big enough to cover the whole underneath of engine and easy to pour waste oil from

Cheap as well,
