ive posted a couple of topics regarding my oil leak, unfortunatly iam no nearer finding the source, ive had the rocker gasket done - no leaks pots are dry as a bone .
today i stripped off the cambelt cover and all is good in there too no signs of anything leaking the belt looks in good nick as do the tensioners ect no contamination of oil on belt which is a plus i also found that the date of the cambelt change was written on the inside of the cover, bonus as i didnt know when it was last changed , ive now around another 20k before its due (going on 40k intervals)

... but again iam stumped as to where the oil is coming from thats sitting on the plastic tray at the front, i re-assembled cover and put the car on the ramps and left running whilst looking for oil with a torch, again no visible signs of leaking as i cleaned everywhere 1st with a rag, then i noticed the rim of the oil filter where it seals to the housing was showing fresh oil, although i couldnt see it running down the filter or anything surely i shouldnt be able to see oil here if it has seated off properly? i changed the filter a mth ago in the hope it was that that was causing the oil leak so iam thinking now that maybe there is a "nick" or gouge in the filter housing where it seats off allowing oil to seep has anyone experienced this ? getting me a bit mad now as i cant pin point the source and although rainbows are nice the dont look pretty outside my house or on my drive
