I have a 2001 Ford Focus, after paying $1100.00 for A/C repairs, oil change etc. 3 weeks ago.?

I notice what looks like an oil puddle under the car?I have a 2001 Ford Focus, after paying $1100.00 for A/C repairs, oil change etc. 3 weeks ago.?
Are you sure it is an OIL puddle, and not water from the A/C evaporator drain? Especially in hot ambient temperatures, A/C operation will ALWAYS result in a water puddle under your vehicle, unless the drain is plugged, in which case it ends up inside your vehicle soaking the passenger side floor.I have a 2001 Ford Focus, after paying $1100.00 for A/C repairs, oil change etc. 3 weeks ago.?
Check your oil drain plug; make sure it is tight.
If you don't recognize the source of the problem, return to the repair shop to be rechecked for what was just repaired and if they bring up something different, have them show this to you before paying any additional cost.





PS: check engine oil level before starting.
They might have the wrong size filter in it. This happened to me with my old car. It took about 4 days, then it worked itself totally loose.Contact the dealer or the place where you had your repairs done. Let them know what is going on. Don't drive it, you might blow up your engine while driving it. I have a 2001 Focus with 175,000 miles on it. The only thing I have had done is a fuel pump.
Unfortunately. Expect the unexpected. You're not the only one.
Check the drain plug and the oil filter. See where the oil is coming from. The filter is hard to see, it's high on the back of the motor, right side. Sticks back, not down.
