don't know yet... it's a gravel driveway.
I put some card board under it, so I'll find out in the morning.

Mine has a small leak at the oil sending unit. Easy to tell because it's up high on the rear of the block.

It's a C3, it's marking it's spot and its also an early level warning system, when the leaking stops it's empty
