With all this weather, rain and all, Pete's noticed that there a small oil leak after he's parked up at night. He says he's checked the oil a few times and it doesn;'t seem to be losing any... but there is definately a leak - there a coloured puddle on the floor after it's rained...
He thinks it's coming from the back of the engine but says he can't see anything that might be leaking.
Any ideas?
What you put in, you'll get back ten fold

I`d be checking the cam cover & cam sensor o-ring for leaks.

Another check Pete could do is to check the level of the clutch fluid, it could be a leaking clutch slave cylinder.

Gearbox oil could be leaking from the front seal too.

Pete's checked the Cam O ring and there seems to be oil there - he's going to change both the O Ring and the Cam Cover.
