its a fiddly job, but thats where the problem will be, its also alot easier than changing the sump.

Definitely not that on mine. I have had a good look at it. Thanks anyway though.

Your like me then,I will change the turbo return pipe gasket and o'ring the weekend but I'm thinking more to the sump.
How do you have your pcv?is it to atmosphere?
If so,that may be the cause unless you have placed a pipe there to let the oil spill else where.

picture under,with and with out pipe,not checked to see if there is much oil on the sump but deffo no dropplets any more.

I changed the PCV and all associated pipes the other week. Definitely from above the sump. May try some kind of sealant along the joint at some stage.

You find out what it was?
Mines some thing to do with water to as I'm losing water every few days,enough to set my sensor off.
Don't think my leak is any thing to do with the turbo return pipes.
All the sumps screws have watery oil on them and I think my water leak is some thing to do with my turbo and when the clutch was changed some pipes not tightend up enough.Which pipes,I don't know,its hard to see under there and seems to leak when the car is being driven as theres no dripping when the engines off and I'm under there,so no way of telling.

Does any one know of any water pipes that are around by the Turbo that are to do with water or if the sump gasket can cause a oil leak?
Was thinking it was my sump plug but its not,I definitly have small leaks some where and want to sort them before they get bigger.

The turbo is water cooled (as well as oil) so i would start by looking at the banjo's...
