what i payed for the car is not relevant. what i asked to be fixed from the buyer before i brought the car is.
put yourself in my shoes, a car thats leaking a decent amount of oil while stationary, would you want it to be fixed especially after you specifically asked for it to be? or just kick yourself in the ass and "let it be".
The power unit, clutch system, transmission system, differentials, axle housings and all associated pipelines must be properly sealed and free of dripping or flowing oil leaks onto the roadway, exhaust system or brake friction surfaces.
Dampness, weeping or staining are acceptable but oil leaking from the underside of the vehicle to such an extent that it is likely to drop oil on the road surface (if the vehicle is parked or idling stationary for any length of time) is unacceptable.

i found out from vicroads that basically i have to try and negotiate with him.
if he declines, i have to go to another workshop and get a roadworthy test done, then send the indicating problems to the mechanic.
if he declines again, i have to send the 2 rwc + a letter of complaint to vicroads.
thanks to those with the helpful replies

Dont be so sure its dodgy you want to be very sure before you accuse people of such things.. i agree that he should have fixed the items you asked.. that is if he agreed to fix them.?.
but you need to be so careful id just give the seller a call and say nicely "hey just noticed the brakes still felt odd and the oil leak was still there and we agreed to fix them" wait n see what he says.
if however you agreed that they would be fixed only if they were rwc items then you must trust they pass, because rwc's are such vague things, how someone interpretates the wording is correct, even if two people interpretate it different.
so you really need to discuss with all partys your concerns.
a good example is.. interiors i mean the rule is the discretion of the inspector so if he feels its not safe thats it, based on nothing but opinion..
my two cents
I've done a bit more research and spoke to Vicroads, who don't have much to do with it.
The power unit, clutch system, transmission system, differentials, axle housings and all associated pipelines must be properly sealed and free of dripping or flowing oil leaks onto the roadway, exhaust system or brake friction surfaces.
Dampness, weeping or staining are acceptable but oil leaking from the underside of the vehicle to such an extent that it is likely to drop oil on the road surface (if the vehicle is parked or idling stationary for any length of time) is unacceptable.
Basically I have to negotiate with the mechanic. If he says no I'm supposed to get a roadworthy test from another mechanic and show him. If he still says no I'm supposed to send in the 2 roadworthys to Vicroads along with a letter, and then form a legal team.
Great to see Vicroads want nothing to do with getting shit fixed. Only when it's convenient for them to make money.
yeah, sounds more like a case of karma
It's not karma when it's only to clear defects. I'd never sell someone a car with oil leaks without fixing them myself.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! dogde rwc are our friends.
They were my friend too when the Skyline needed a quick fix, but this isn't the case
A minor oil leak is not a road worthy issue.
And as long as the brakes operate to the criteria set out in legislation and they have nothing more than a very minor shudder, then they too are ok.
Many mechanics would not pass either, as fixing the problems means $$$ for them, but by the sound of it the RWC wasn't dodgy.
We're not talking minor leakage/condensation/over time, we're talking not being able to distinguish which part of the sump it's leaking from because there's oil everywhere, and leaving oil drops on the floor after being parked for 30 mins.
There was a couple other small things which weren't fixed that I didn't mention, like one of the tail lights not working (they weren't working before I got the car too) so it's pretty obvious it was a dodgy.
I just basically want to know if anyone has gone down this road before where a mechanic refuses to fix it, so I can prepare myself.

Hey guys,
I just recently brought a run around car the other day. It's a 95 Civic and roadworthy was supplied from the (private) seller with the sale.
When I went to test drive/check it (before I brought it) I noticed an oil leak coming from the sump area. The brakes also made driving noise (without brakes applied) and shuddered a little bit under braking. I let the seller know, and he mentioned that the mechanic who would do the RWC was his friends shop. I let the seller know that I wanted the stuff fixed since it was going to be my run around car.
Anyways when I went to pick up the car the seller mentioned that his mechanic said the brakes were fine and everything was all clear. Since I was in a hurry I signed the transfer papers, got the RWC from the seller and handed over the cash; but without checking the oil or anything until I got it home.
It seems that on the roadworthy the car passed the brake test (now compulsory with all RWC's) and nothing was fixed/said about the oil on the RWC. These are 2 fair problems, which I don't think the mechanic has any defense of saying they happened after he gave out the RWC.
The car is still in his name since I haven't had time to transfer it over yet, and I haven't let him or his mechanic know about it yet.
I'm really inclined to do something about it, so has anyone been in a similar situation where the RWC they got was dodgy?
What was the outcome? What should I do? Should I go and get a roadworthy test from another mechanic and notify the mechanic who gave the dodgy one?
Cheers in advance

Selling my white 1997 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-t manual series 2.
It has just knocked over 100,000km and looking at the car you will see it's genuine kilometres.
It has all the books from the original owner in Japan. All original panels and paint. No oil leaks, undercarriage damage or headaches etc.
This car is basically standard apart from a 3" exhaust, R34 side-mount intercooler, lowered suspension and a 3 point alarm/immobiliser which were already on the car when I got it. It also has wiring set up for a system/sub.
Hasn't been tampered with, just kept as a clean weekend cruiser.
It's done me very well in the time I've had it, and I'd love to keep it, but I don't have the space for a weekend car anymore.
Registration until Feb 2011, can come with RWC (organise with buyer).
$8,500 - give me a call/sms to 0432326673 if you're interested. After cash only.
I'll throw up some pictures soon when I have some time.
No time wasters please!
Cheers
