![Question](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Over the last month or so I have noticed a small amount of engine oil appearing on my drive over night. On investigation today I found about half an egg cup full in the bottom of the plastic bash plate under the engine, which in turn drips onto the ground when the car is parked.
But I cant see anywhere that it might be coming from! My only clue is that I can see the oil has been running down the side of the oil filter, collecting on the bottom, them dripping off into the tray. I thought the filter might be loose, but it seems to be tight. Any ideas where this might be coming from?
Thanks.
The cars a MY 2000 turbo.

Before you start stripping get under there and have a feel of the rocker cover gasket. Majority of the time this is where the oil leaks from and wont be a big job either
