Have you had any oil dripping from beneath the car? Might be worth just dropping the undertray down a bit on one corner to see if it's pooling on top of the undertray.
So I have just had the garage call me.

It sounds very similar your description.
The oil is leaking 'from somewhere' at the top of the engine under the intake manifold, in the V, and running down and sitting on/saturating the engine tray.

Any ideas and is it a possible DIY solution rather than the booked 6 hours/front of car off job that is now planned for 11th Dec!
