Oil leak, side of engine (TD5), what to check?

Too cold and too dark to fix or get up on ramps.

Just started last few days, only noticed today.

Dripping on the side of the engine, splashes on the down pipe.

Under the spin on filter, will need to remove it to check properly.

There is a pipe under there as well to the turbocharger.

What is most likely to be leaking as I want to fix it if I have to get under it.

Thanks

Martin

filters often work loose and leak, the pipe is oil return from turbo

Noticed on mine whilst changing oil last weekend, the return turbo oil line leaks from the top and makes a mess. Going to order new gaskets for the line which is cheaper than just throwing money for a new one.

Check also the oil feed to turbo banjo is not leaking also I had changed mine recently.

Well if dry tomorrow will check the filter

Whilst your there clean off the turbo return hose so it looks dry and then check it after a drive if it starts to get wet again you know it's from there

Oil filter had worked loose

Never had that before!
