Status: online 		I have got a very small leak of oil in the front left side of my Maserati 4200.
Do you think it is worth trying this product? WYNN ENGINE STOP LEAK
http://www.wynns.uk.com/Product.aspx?p=50664&g=GRP_CONS_OIL

Could this damage the engine?

That's right, Morris Marinas hold their value a lot better...

Status: online 		Thanks for the advice. It was just a crazy idea!

I definitely have a small leak. I can see some oil on the floor under the front left side of the engine and this never happened before, pehaps a revenge from my Maserati for not beeing used for over a month!

Though I cannot identify from where exacly it is coming from but I had not a chance yet to check from the bottom of the car.

I have noticed that I have a trace of oil in the front of the air intake, where the rubber  pipe is attached to the gold metal cast that covers the engine.
It this a normal place for a leak or it is just a littel overflow?

Thanks,

I would suggest removing the front wheel and the arch liner which should give you a better view of the area.

Status: online 		I had time to investigate...it's starting from the top left corner of the cam shaft cover. So should not be serious. I will try to check the bolts and tighten them carefully but I suppose I have no choice and change the gasket at next oil change in a few months.
