[rod1169]

Hi . I have a Nissan Patrol wagon 2001 ZD30tdi. I have noticed a oil leak on the RHS rear of the motor but am unable to find its source . it seems to be coming from the from around the mid to top of the motor on the RHS rear was wondering if it could be coming from the turbo return oil line. your reply's would be gratefully excepted . safe travels

whip the engine cover off and take it down the car wash and take it from there.
Might be easier to see

either a leaking injector seal, rocker cover gasket, or a seal on the glow plugs

Look at the underside of your intercooler. If its leaking it will drip oil down...

Just did mine with the help of a mate who is a diesel fitter, thought it might be a 1 hr job....3 hrs later it was done, lots of bark missing from 4 pairs of hands..like to get my hands on the twits that trim zip ties at a angle !!!!!
