I had a bit more of a look today and noticed a fair amount of oil over the top rear of the motor where the red arrow is. Well enough for it to be dripping down the motor.

That can't be a good thing. Air bubbles circulating and possibly getting stuck in the alloy head water jackets won't produce good results if it goes that way for too long.Originally Posted by mudnut

That could be an glow plug seal leaking. (Or is it the injector??)
They are a one use thing only so if the old ones have been reused, or even old ones installed roughly you'll get oil spilling up out of the rocker cover.
Do you have a catch can?
If not pull the turbo to IC hose off and check the amount of oil in there.

Well, she has gone back to Brunswick Diesel now.
Hope it's a easy fix
I hope its a free fix. Already got slugged 8.5k to put the motor in in the first place. Can't really afford another hit. To make it worse my job depends on my car working.
Spending that sort of money to build a good rig and ending up with mechanical(or electrical issues) is definitely not good.
I've been wondering. You live in WA. Brunswick Diesel is in WA. Why is it expensive to ship it to them?
Even RACV roadside care equivalent in WA should've been able to take care of that for a little cost, if not for free.

Coupla hundred km (give or take) Perth to Brunswick @dom14!!!
165 kilometers, but close to Bunbury so there should be plenty of couriers and trucks on that rout.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
Ended up costing me 380 to get it there. Original quote was 650.
An to add to that, I am a sales rep on commission. So I am broke at the moment.
On the up side work lent me an SS Ute with a 350 Chev in it
