i have the same problem mate, already changed rear main and rocker cover gasket, still leaks, hoping its the sump gasket, or I cant think what else it would be!

No its not coming from in the picture

like this?

Thanks,
is this the proper name, rearmain seal?

did you follow it up? did you find out where it might be comig from?

I had similar some time back, turned out to be the rocker cover gasket

rearmain seal - the seal where the crank turns

gearbox out and flywheel removed job

Hi,

I have an oil leak for so long now and its annoying that I have to top it up so frequently.

Well, a while ago, I cleaned the whole engine to make sure no oil was there and then ran it, and checked it. I remember seeing oil coming from the bottom of engine/gearbox, where they attach together:



Anyway, I have just checked now, took the above picture, and its covered in it, its even higher up but am still sure its coming from where I said (Also be seen in the picture)

Is there a gasket in between here and will this leak be difficult to fix, thats if its where it is coming from.

Thanks

Edit: As you can see, the image was taking from looking underther car from the front, you can see the front of the exhaust and the part in question.
