Hello
So finally found the time this afternoon to jack the car up and look for the oil leak. from the oil spot pattern on the floor I was expecting to see oil pouring out of the bellhousing of the gearbox. However whilst I was looking all around there, the oil was pouring out of the front of the engine (see attached pic which is after 5 minutes). Couldn't get under there myself for fear of getting oil in my eye, however used the camera to get a good shot. Looks like the oil is coming out between the pulley and the timing cover. So, what's the diagnosis..? How do I go about fixing it..?
Thanks for your help.
