Right, its coming from the front of the car, around the engine side not gearbox but can't see anything obvious from up top other than the small leak from the cam shaft seal :/ where do the fuel lines come up from? Its weird as its mainly running down onto the sump which to me indicates something from the fuel rail but that's absolutely fine with no fuel on the inlet manifold or down the sides :S

Maybe it is another oil leak but im not sure :/ i need to have it on the ramp, clean it all properly and see were its coming from to be sure lol. got my rad fan to wire up too, shouldn't take too long, made the wiring up for it already just need to fit it when i get time :)

EDIT:

I took this earlier when i pulled up at home, left the car running a few mins and moved the car

just go over all the nuts and bolts on and around the inlet manifold check the hoses you will find it

If you can clean the sump up well you should hopefully then be able to see exactly where the trail is tracking on to the sump, then clean the block directly above that if you can't already see where it's coming from and continue to do that. Ideally you just want the car on the ramp whilst it's running.
