If here in Oz I would definitely say sap or gum from a tree, or pollen etc from some flowering tree. Not sure in the UK, but that's what it looks like to me !

Had a bloke here who had similar problems ! It turned out to be a fuel filter issue; how long since you changed yours ?

What year is your wife's car ?
Early model L322's had a front diff problem that led to a international recall which unfortunately ended on the 1st Jan 2012 ! It may have missed the cut?

| Just be careful to measure how much oil goes in. The old adage of when it spills it's right ! doesn't apply for the L322. The only car I know where this is the case. |
