any help would be much appreciated

Oil must be going somewhere then do you check underneath the car every morning???

[dti owner]

no i havent looked under my car before, i will do that before i goto work in the afternoon. if it is a leak from the engine how easy would it be to repair?

All depends on what it is, if the plastic undetray is still fitted to it that can hide oil leaks as the oil may only be dripping out when your in motion. Get underneath and have a good look.

If there is definatly nothing leaking then i'd be look at turbo problems after that

does a 2.2 elegance have a turbo

Sorry mate assumed you had a DTi which your username would point to.

If it's a petrol then valve stem seals would be something to look into. What sort of mileage are you doing every month as I know that some of the petrol engines like a drink of oil (although your's sounds pretty extreme)
