Default Picture/info request - front end/timing

Iv got an oil leak on my 01 S8, seems to be coming from under the o/s/f camshaft area, below the plastic part of the timing cover.

Iv just replaced camshaft oil seal & its not that. It appears to be originating from a hose area underneath the o/s/f cam area

I cant get in to see exactly where it is without stripping the front end off again, does anyone have a picture of the front end while the radiator is out/changing the timing belt?

Iv had a look on Vagcat.com & theres not enough detail fro me to identify what im looking for

I seem to recal that Mike (Conan the Librarian) posted quite a few front-off photos some time ago but I don't recall the subject. Might be worth a PM?
