A follow-on from this:

I managed to fix my oil leak today.  After stripping down the front end, cleaning the sump and gettting her up on the ramp I found the leak.  Can you guess what it was that was causing the leak?

The winner gets a half eaten jelly baby that I found between the passenger seat and center console.

Cam shaft oil seals  That's also what I recon is wrong with mine 

P.S. they are only £5 each from Autovaux, genuine ones from vaux are about £20 ea

Pattern ones are shite. Utter shite. Better off using a 2nd hand genuine one.

It must have worked loose since the last oil change.  I remember putting it on a good hand tightness so I didnt even think to look there.  I was convinced it was the crankshaft seal tbh, must be the easiest oil leak to fix I have even done 

Now if only I could sort out that air leak........ the one in the cabin
