I have a strange oil leak. When driving short distances, it's fine, nothing leaks. But when I drive, especially motorway driving, then the whole amount of oil would be gone. There are no leaks when parked up, just at higher speed driving over longer distances.

Hi,

If you are losing that much, there should be evidence of an area it is leaking from. Or do you ever notice blue smoke coming from the exhaust?

Understand, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I don't have manuals specific to it. However, I will try my best to help.

Let me know if anything is wet with oil under the hood or under the vehicle.

Take care,

Joe
