Insurance replacement car broken down

Hi guys,

Quick question, missus car was driven into hit and run style at the start of the month.

She got a rental car from the car repair shop.

Said car has just dropped its oil on the deck at home.

Are we gonna get charged for it? Never had this happen before.

Wouldn't have thought so unless they try to pull a fast one and say it's something you've caused. Have you given them a call yet?

Considering you'd have only had it what a couple of weeks, i think it would be hard for them to prove that you'd caused any damage.

What car is it? age?

Sounds like it might be some cheap run-around for the garage to loan out to customers.

It's a citreon c1 2017 all all out the side, looks like oil pump seal failure by splatter pattern.
Doubt my missus caused it as she drives like a oap. Dont think she knew that she could go above 3k revs.

They should be paying you for the cleanup or cleaning it themselves.

So guy turned up filled it full of oil, oil filter had a hairline crack in it. Must have been seeping a while.
