MJ this is quiet a bad leak, I've been under the car and it was dripping oil whilst me and the mechanic were underneath. There is no oil on the top of the exhaust manifold, wherever its coming from is underneath that.
Now I've been through every piece of paperwork this car came with, and there is a lot. Buried in there is a receipt from 19/7/2019 at 88751 miles (Just over 90K on clock now) which says.
Rectify coolant and oil leak with the following parts list and price, but no part numbers.
Gasket £39.71
Oil Pipe £126.48
Hose £40.96
Vent Pipe £43.12
Housing £26.33
Antifreeze £3
5 hours labour.
Not sure if with the description and prices it's possible to work out what was replaced.
I've looked under the bonnet, and if you stand drivers side and look at the back of the engine there is a pipe and a lot of crud.
I've got some degreaser, so I am going to spray some all over down there then pressure wash off, with the goal to see if it's leaking from there. This pipe appears to run underneath the exhaust manifold somewhere.
