Hi

After diagnosing and fixing a few other problems it appears that I have an oil leak, under the car there is a good coating of oil. On further inspection and a lot of cleaning up the oil leak starts from somewhere around the oil filter.

Where is the OMP is this below the filter on the side of the rotor housings? It also looks like it could be one of the pipes that runs to the plate where the oil filter sits.

Can anyone point me in the directions of the manuals online as the Lubrication system one I want is comming up corrupted file when I try and look at it.

Possibly the small rubber O rings in the oil filter pedastal? (remove oil filter then pedastal to see them), or the copper crush washers on the banjo fitting by the oil filter (pipe that runs to oil cooler), or oil pressure sensor weeping?  Hopefully not the rear engine oil seal.
Goodluck, oil leaks are a pig to find.

BTW, OMP is front of engine on the other side AFAIK.

When you cure the leak post back and let us know what it was :)
