    More oil leaks

    Been having heaps of trouble with the td42t leaking oil! I have been trying to stop it as i spot it but theres more and more leaks popping up everywhere. Just need some advise on whats causing this if anyone knows with the help of some photos. Oil has been leaking down the turbo, looked like it was coming from the turbo outlet hose to the intercooler. Gaskets are on there way to be replaced, and fitted a catch can yesterday. Had a look today and found more oil leaks under the car. One which looks like its coming from the injector pump region and one leak adjacent to it, on the other side of the sump. And general leakage around the sump and looks like some coming from the rear main seal, running down the sump. Drove from ipswich to the goldy and back today with no dramas, everything seemed to be fine with the sound and performance of the car. Guages were working fine.
    Thanks in advance.
    *edit*: the photos dont upload so i dont have photos sorry

    A little oil can go a long way and look worse than it is. I have had oil coming from the intercooler and running down the motor and looking as though the main seal was leaking behind the bell housing. Also rocker cover leaks can appear to come from the bottom of the motor. Without the photos I can only suggest that you get some spray degreaser from awfulcheap autos and spray the motor from top to bottom then hose it down. Clean anything you can reach and start agian trying to work out where the leak is starting from. Oil generally is blown back by the fan and runs down, so a leak that appears to be say for instance behind the air con compressor may be from the top of the timimg cover and running down and back. I'm not suggesting you have a leak from that area but just an example. Good luck.
