Had a mate look at it the other day, he seems to think it could be leaking from the inlet manifold gasket up over the block and pooling where I showed. It actually makes sense because the oil isn't pure, seems to be slightly watered down. So I'm going to order in a set of aluminium gaskets from MACE and swap it over ASAP.

When you do the swap make sure you take it for a drive then change the oil to get rid of any crap that drops down while your doing it.

Can give u a hand when your down next as I have done it many times.
