I'm no master in car repairs or maintenance, but if I was in your situation, I would just bring it back to Proton service center and have them check it since your car should still be under warranty. Rightfully, you won't have to pay anything at all because it's classified as manufacturer's fault.

Roughly, I think your engine may be leaking oil somewhere, perhaps a place that you may not be able to see.

Dude,
Don't thank me. I didn't do anything to help. Anyway, they should not charge you anything for checking and repairing. Even if they have to top up or change the engine oil, they shouldn't charge you cos it's manufacturer's defect. Wish you the best. Peace.

as the oil get heated it becomes "thinner" thus leakage. What engine oil do you use? Try to locate the leak. could well be a clamp or something to that effect. if you have too many problems i would suggest you see another Proton Edar w/shop. If you need suggestions on where pm me and i'll give you the contact. They do warranty claims. good luck mate.
