oil leak

[kev2008]

right had my transit a few weeks now but from the day i got it i have had an oil leak
witch i assumed was the sump gasket.

on a closer inspection i have found this not to be the case...
and found it to be coming from here(see pic with arrow)now i cant be 100% that is the only place its leaking from but looks to be


would this be a big job time/money has it looks like it to me and i dont think it would be a job i could carry out myself so it would need to be carryed out in a local garage

any one have any ideas on this
many thanks

it seems to leak after the engine has been stopped and not when running but dont know if it leaks when driving .

thanks again

You may not have realised but there is a technical section further up the forum, you may want to try a post there.

It may be that it's take but because that picture is so close up I can't tell where about it is. You may also want to give more details on what van and engine it is.

ah thanks mrMPuk sorry about the closes up (and spelling) i thought it would be better that way.
its right at the front near the sump where all the belts are at the bottom.

and van is a 1997 lwb simi high 15 seater minibus 2.5td

Probably crank oil seal then.
