Bad oil leak

[M.Johnson]

Hi guys, I have a 2011 manual 3l CRD. I've just noticed there's an oil leak which I suspect started last night or this morning, but it has emptied out almost all the oil. Any ideas what it might be from? Thanks http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2019/12/21.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2019/12/22.jpg

Is that the harmonic balancer? Front main seal?

Is that the harmonic balancer? Front main seal?I'm not 100% sure, it's just been gushing out since around this morning

It's a little hard to see what's going on, and I'm not used to looking at the 3l.. But looks like it's all coming from around the balancer.

Pop over and introduce yourself and I'm sure someone with a bit more knowledge than me will come along and help you out.

looks like front main seal...but grab some degreaser or oven cleaner give it a clean..start it up should be able to see it pretty quick if that only started afew days ago

my guess would be the front timing cover, ive seen many zd30 crd leak from the main timing cover sandwich plate.
