Must be more info on this is this an M44 I doubt the cutting off is related to oil leak but you need to check where leaking from to start with eg filter housing sump etc
Check electrical connections on icv amm etc and check all pipes are sound no cracks and secured properly to start before start accusing the mechanic as it was ok for a week |
