Hi,

I've been trying to suss out where my oil leak was originating from - 200tdi.

The leak was dripping off 2 bolts (furthest to the rear) that hold the sump pan up and was spraying backwards onto the propshafts, handbrake drum etc

I followed this up and found that my oil filter was also dripping oil.

Followed this up further finding that my lift pump was also soaked in oil.

Followed this higher and I'd got to this.

Now, is this the rocker cover gasket and the two half moons that are leaking? Could it possibly be the head gasket?

Further more, could it be the items that are arrowed (not too sure of the name and whether or not these could leak oil as the oil could just be puddling there).

Have a look and see what you think. I'm off to Paddocks in a sec, so prob buy the offending seal/gasket then...along with a 19J temp. sender ;)

Thanks

it looks like its the rocker cover gasket leaking only a couple of quid also check the fuel pipes mine split and that went everywere it seams to high for it to be head gasket unless you have it on the pulleys and it is getting thrown up is the under side of your bonet full of it
 
oil coming out from the rocker cover gasket on a TD generally means it's time to start saving the pennies for a 200
 
Starts instantly on the button.

About 100k now. No blue smoke and no oil in the water n vice versa.

You've got me concerned now!
