Hmmm yes I saw that in the WM but it doesn't seem to show the pipe. Nor the oil suction pipe (or at least I can't spot it).

Change over valve for the turbo, the one which sticks..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer๐๐

Greg, i had leak in front and after long search located the culprit, it was plug on the top of the oil pump. What I did was to loosen the plug as far as will go apply some silicon and tigtend, problem solved. If not there, leak may be from steering pipe/connection.

Problem with front of engine leak is that when the fan is blowing it moves oil all over the place. |

A bit of progress with my on-going oil leak search, was under the car at the weekend and found this pipe to be quite wet, at least at the bottom bend.

if there is only 1 pipe for the turbo drain then the updated drain has not been fitted because it has 2 pipes going to different spots on the sump. |
