Hi was under the car this morning and gound oil over the underside of gear box bottom of steering rack and rear of sump .my guess is that it is coming from the sump is this a common problem and a easy fix ?thanks in advance for your replys

 

Possibly the sump but can also be ( in order of probability )
Oil drain/return hose for the turbo.
Breather plate on the back of the engine.
Rear main oil seal.
Sump pan flange leaking.

Hope this helps.

Mick

 

Cheers how would u suggest finding it get engine cleaned and keep an eye on it ?

 

It's not made on to the drive yet but doesn't look like it will be long

 

Only real way is to get underneath and clean everything up. Then run it and see where it comes from. Of course it may take a bit of time to reappear.

Unfortunately all of those places are a right pain to fix. Sump is **** job but not quite as **** as pulling the engine or box out to do the rear seals. Turbo one is fiddly and I can't remember if you can do it without taking things off. I did mine with no gearbox or turbo in place so it was easy then. Its definitely a laying underneath with a lamp and loose the skin off of your hand job. Maybe easier to remove the turbo.

 

Looks like the fun starts here😔
