Thread: Oil Leak on Exhaust Manifold

Hi All,
I've done a few searches but none have turned up real cause or solution.
I'm told to suspect rocker cover gaskets, but scoping other causes.
Passenger (near) side. Pics attached and I'll try to upload the video.
The pics make it a bit hard to see, but small circle is the actual oil leak. The pics do capture the smoke above the leak wonderfully though!

Anyone offer any suggestions?

Where you have drawn the circle there is a oil feed to the turbo.. it comes round the back of the head and over the top of the turbo.
Its a solid pipe and it runs behind the exhaust manifold so unless the banjo bolt is loose and its burning off on the turbo its likely the manifold gasket.

To see the feed pipe to the turbo best to go thru the wheel arch and remove the heat sheilds and you will see it... no need to remove the wheel arch liner..

Ive just spent time with the head removed and from what ive seen there is no other oil supply that runs around that area..
