    Picked up mine the other day found the same thing, it was simply the rocker cover need a few turns on each bolt, the cover on top hid the source so I removed it on "having a look where the oils coming from" was lucky it was nothing more.
    Cheers

    more than likely coming from the inlet manifold (gasket) These engines blow a fair bit of oil vapour through the induction system, and most 300Tdi's I've seen get 'wet' there at some stage.

    Gasket time

    Your manifold gasket has had it - spend $23 and get a nice thick new one. Easy to replace. If you have broken studs or bolts, M8 HT will do the trick.
