Get underneath or above and have a gd look around and you may find it.oil filter sometimes leak or pipes.

one option if theres too much oikl in the bay to find out is jetwash/steam clean the engine bay and keep a close eye for fresh oil..

Will see what i can do , was thinking degreaser spray or sumet , jet wash , go round block then check

Mine leaks fluid from the steering box. Could it be that maybe?

Mine had 2 leaks, both fixed now and they both made a mess just like yours.

Main leak was from the vacuum pump, it was leaking from the back of it and oil was everywhere, only found out where it was when the pump failed, replaced that and cured the leak.

The other one was through the center of the oil pressure switch.

At the moment I am leak free but my block paving shows the scars from before!

Could be any of the following.
Rocker cover.
Vac pump.
Front crank seal.
Sump.
Rear crank seal.
Transfer box seal.
Gearbox input and output seals.
Diff seals.

i would say ,and its only my opion
it looks like vac pump as its dropping off bottom of box ,if were rear main there would be a lot mlre oil than that mate ,

Oil cooler pipes are the favourite.

chrisyleigh · Aug 14, 2013
