Service Issues OMG!!

[Big_daddy]

Just decided to go ahead with service and get the parts from GSF. (Oil, oil filter and fuel filter).
Few questions and opions required.

1st
Oil change, once ive done the oil change and refitted the new oil filter, then cleaned up the mess as the oil filter dripped abit here and there over the pipes.
once the car was jacked down, a few drips was dripping down the front of the engine sump coming from top where oil filter is, checked the filter and wiped. but its not coming any where near it.
Is there a chance when i changed the oil filter some oil must have spilled/dripped on the side of the engine, once jacked dwon it could have poured down the side.

2nd
Theres quite abit of condenstation from exhaust tip (after the service? is this normal? did use to do it before, the car hasnt loss any water at all in the past 8 months.

3rd
How do remove the pipes for the fuel filter? Do you just pull it of at each side, as i dont want to brake the plastic connector on the pipe. tried leveling it with a flap screw driver but feels as the plastic will brake off.

any advice would be greatfull,

i thought there was a c type clip that you squeezed together to remove it is all, if there's not one there then it maybe something sticking it together, send roly a pm he works for seat and ask him

Petrol or diesel fuel filter?

On the petrol you need to push the 2 square on the clip like on the side of it INWARD and pull the pipe BACKWARDS to free it off. Becarefull cuz it can slash petrol and it hurts in the eyes. same way for fitting the new 1 push the squares in a and slide it over the new filter job done

Q.2. Petrol is a hydrocarbon,the carbon is burnt up in the combustion chamber so what you are left with is the water.it usually turns to steam but under some conditions condenses back into water and drips out of your tailpipe.Nothing to worry about mate
