In this video, see how to fix the oil leak from the bulb on an Opel Astra H: with a broken bulb, oil dripped onto the alternator and along the engine block. In this specific case, it involves an engine with dual fuel supply using LPG, which consumes a lot of oil, and even with the bulb in good condition, oil must be topped up regularly due to the engine running at a very high temperature.

However, maintenance is carried out regularly; it is a good engine and can cover many miles. You can find the bulb on Amazon for £5.30 with code B006DHRDBI, with free delivery for Prime customers.
