Got me a 20vt Coupe. Advice needed.

[Mawv]

Well as some of you may know, i was on the look out for a car, and decided to to go back to Italian. So yesterday i bought myself a Fiat Coupe 20vt Turbo with a Full and extensive service history. Its lowered 40ml on Apex Springs, comes with 17" Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2s on Toyo tyres plus the standard Coupe wheels. Has upgraded Mintex drilled and grooved discs and pads all round. Is also fitted with a manual boost controller and boost gauge and is running 9psi so im told. A baileys dumpvalve, a Carbon Fibre air intake and a Blue Flame cat back s/s exhaust.

Now today i discovered a small, what appears to an be oil leak just beside the passenger wheel. Any ideas what it could be? Theres also a squeal from the timing belt/pulley area upon start up when its cold-however theres a reciept there for a Cambelt change. Any ideas what it could be? Also if anyone knows any reasonable, and reputable Fiat Specalists around the South Lanarkshire disctrict. Thanks

PICS!!!!!

oil at that side could be gearbox?? would really need to see, as general driving can blow oil all over the place making it hard to tell exactly where its coming from.

squeal could be a dry aux belt, give it a wee scoosh of wd40 and see if the sound goes away, but again, would need to see it to help properly

Ive already been told that of another forum, but it dosent smell like cat ****. Its a small leak, quite a light browney colour too, hardly any smell to it. Well the squeal generally goes away once the cars heated up, and its only ever slightly still there.
