| Multiple issues all at once. |
|
So on Saturday I noticed quite a few oil patches on the drive. Further investigation revealed the dipstick almost dry and a lot of oil all over the bottom of the car once removed the under tray. It was all over the front diff, but also on the opposite side dripping down the sump ,on the cross over pipe and seemingly higher than that.
Then today I took the car for a 15 min drive after cleaning up the oil on Saturday to try see it’s origin and the battery light came on after about 10 mins.
Iid reports no faults but battery is charging at about 13v at Idle.
I obviously don’t want to drive it now, but don’t know if this is connected or just coincidence.
No work has been done on the engine recently, so it’s not the oil filter housing being loose or anything like that I wouldn’t think.
Any ideas?

Front crank seal?
Has the oil pump been changed in the past?
Turbo drain pipe.

The drain pipe has staining, but then there are drips above the crossover pipe on the opposite side too. Hard to say what’s actual leak and what’s just been flung around.
Gonna book it in to alltrack get them to recover it there I think.
