Hiya guy hope someone can help my my p38 dhse has decide to leak oil badly below inlet manifold looks like its spaying I have changed oil filter housing and cap and gasket and oil pipe o-rings dipstick o-rings and the tube one it's quite major thanks for looking and hope someone can help
 
The pressure feed galley for the head is very close to the edge of the head gasket N/S check that it is not that. If it is head gasket needs changing.
 
Think it's diesel black and no smell where about a is the oil gallery ie front to back piston wise if you get what I mean thanks for the replying guys

Small hole between cylinders three and four next to a head bolt hole. Mid way down R/H side of gasket view in this. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-STC2031 Would give a leak down the block under the manifold. Could be leaking spill pipes or number four injector if it's diesel. Easy to check if it is just take off engine cover and look.

Glow plug control is in the ECU case don't know quite what you are looking at. Way to find leaks is to washdown around suspected area run engine and watch for them. Engine can be run without manifold on just make sure nothing gash is hanging about that can get sucked into inlets.

Right, the loom conduit. Maybe something being blown back. Sometimes leaks are very hard to pin down. You will just have to continue looking.
