Our 53 plate tdi 75 has unfortunately developed quite an oil leak.
I managed to get it on a ramp over the weekend and removed the undertray and gave everywhere a real good cleaning to attempt to find where it was leaking from, which wasn't pleasant as it was in quite a mess.
After cleaning I took it for a quick spin and had a good look around and from what I can see it would appear that the leak is coming from the general area where the oil filler pipe meets the block.
I cannot see any splits in the filler pipe but then I couldn't get a clear view of the end as it's well hidden.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and could possibly shed a little more light?
I don't know if it could be a seal or the connector that connects the pipe to the block and how it actually connects?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Ps I will try to add a couple of photos I took.
Thanks ?
