Could be dizzy seal, mines gone and runs down the side of the head, still not sorted it yet! Saying that though, doesnt look like its directly underneath it, sure its not the rocker cover gasket?

yeah thats what i was thinking, the rocker cover gasket that is, but when the engine was fitted a short while ago it had all new gaskets so just wondering why its leaking so soon and so badly. would it be much work to fit a new gasket?

To fix the sump leak problem, very very common, the best way has been to actually do it with the engine out the car and have it upside down on an engine stand!!!!! Or i think you can use a later gasket or summit
