Is there anyone near Swansea that is a dab hand on migs? Only had mine 6mths, but it needs someone who knows what they're looking at!

I think I have an oil leak underneath at the back of the block, but not knowing much about cars, couldn't be more specific. Whilst looking at it, I noticed a hole on the exhaust pipe, drivers side just below, what looks like a sensor.

Would be nice if someone trustworthy would be able to help and advise me?

Cheers guys.  :y
The only sensor on the exhaust is the cats...if its not blowing then most likely its just a hole in the heat shield wrapped around the cat...in which case nothing to worry about...good chance the oil leak is a leaking cam cover gasket...fairly cheap and easy to sort and caused by your breather system blocking up...keep the breather system clean and the cam cover gaskets shouldnt blow :y

It's not the Cat. It's further forward on the pipe where it moves vertical towards the block. The sensor I mentioned looks like it's sticking "out" of the pipe. Maybe an inch long. The hole is between these 2.
Went to my local Vx dealer, who kindly tells me it's a single pipe, from the block to the other side of the Cat...£379+ Vat excluding fitting!  :'(

Big ooops.
