Replaced
Auto box rad and pipes

There is a pipe from the block near front cover to the top of the turbo that could leak you need to take the heat shield off and the air intake pipes to turbo to get at it

Have you worked out what type of oil it is?
Black would be engine oil, red for atf, clear for diesel.
If you know what it is, it'll be easier to find where it's coming from.

Could be leaking from the turbo itself?

Crank oil seal or sump gasket then.
Only way to be sure is clean it as best as you can then have another look after a short run.

Take the access plate of bell housing and see what you find, if you cant see in there to well use a mirror and torch.

No he's not! Cleaned all oil off, went for a gentle drive and looked again. Looks like my sump gssket is leaking ... if I'm lucky.

Leak by turbo could be the breather thing on older diesels off the rocker cover to air intake. Leaks like a sod.

Sure the bubbles are from the glow plug and not the injector? Cannot remember if there isa washer on the glow-plug or not. You could unscrew, check the threads are clean very carefully and then nip up to the correct torque with a smidgeon of copper grease to ease the threads in. That might stop it.
