2008 puma, I don't often spend too much time looking under the bonnet but I noticed a lot of oil around the injectors. Removed plastic cover and on closer inspection lots of oil around first three injectors that had run back over top of the engine. Cleaned it all off and done 300km towing and so far no sign of oil. I am thinking spillage by my mechanic who changed the oil 3 months ago? Any other ideas - engine running fine no fault codes, smoke, power loss etc

Cheers

I spilled about 300ml of oil over the top of my engine doing an oil change today, those 10l containers are a bit awkward, I knocked my funnel over as I started to pour. Went with a smaller container after learning my lesson. Had to remove the top cover to wash the engine down. I can confirm this will cause oil around the first 3 injectors!
