That is worth exploring because I asked local garage to check it for blue smoke this morning and they said that there was no sign of any smoke at all. I imagine that the crank seal and front timing cover would only leak when engine running which is why I have no oil on the drive?

mine leaks plenty on the drive.. its melted the tarmac and made a right mess

pretty sure its the front oil seal

Front cover and crank seal can leak, the sump and rear main..

Valley gasket, valve cover gaskets, basically everything can leak
