I have an small but consistent amount of engine oil that collects around the last injector on the RHS of the (TD4) engine. I considered it being diesel and replaced the flow back pipes but when that didn't change anything I checked and found it is engine oil. I clean it up and it comes back but only a small amount. Anyone had anything similar at all? Thanks alot
 
Hi Phil do you mean the battery side of the engine. I know that at the coolant bottle side of the engine there is a bolt that holds the plastic cover on that has a rubber washer on it if that's missing u can get a consistent small oil drop that leaks onto head and down the side of engine block.

Hi Chris, no it's the other side and the oil gathers around the last injector. I wondered if it was from the oil filler cap which is above it, but don't think so, I cannot see any oil trail running down. I looked at the crankcase breather filter but there is nothing that end and no trace of oil that side of the engine around the injectors there. They are clean and oil free. I will take some pictures and put them on. Because I confused myself writing that haha . Thanks for the reply though, I appreciate it.
