Hmm. Transfere?
Here are some parts associated with oil leaks on or around the engine.
1. Sump (at the bottom where the oil lives)
2. Breather (at the back of the engine half way up the block underneath the induction assembly)
3. The rocker cover ( right at the top of the engine where you put the oil in)

Right, if the engine leaks oil when running and not otherwise this suggests that its not a leak from the sump etc. If it is leaking out of a rubber pipe thats associated with either the rocker cover or the breather then it will be to do with worn cylinder bores. When you get these they allow combustion gases to pressurize the crank case enough to force oil flying about at the bottom of the engine out up these pipes. If the breather is connected to the inlet manifold then it will push the oil up into there as well.
Wotever this problem is a worn engine and it will cost major money to repair.
I have had a bad leak from round the oil pressure sender which is at the back of the engine underneath the alternator

hmm,thats a point,
its been ova filled,i spotted that in the car park earlyer.
also its got the KnN bolted onto it,and the oil breather jus aim towards the floor.
culd this be doing it?
i mite get some pixs ,IF the car ever cums home for more than a secound.
if the engine is fucked im ok coz i got a spare in the garage,but i jus wanna avoid swaping it,as its a haslle taking it out,and i need the car for work
