Leak under engine.

[mark49]

A leak under the front of a ducato van.
Any ideas what this might be anyone?
Thanks. Mark.

Looks like it may well be the front crankshaft seal gone.

The oil will migrate back and down as the van moves forward, so look for the furthest point forward and up where the oil is and that likely to be where it's coming from.

I am no mechanic but is there a bolt missing ?

As above, front crank seal.

It’s not a leak, it’s a weep. Nothing much to worry about in my opinion. But I’m used to English engineering.

Well I don’t know who gets the prize, mechanic says it’s the engine oil seal,so engine needs dropped and it’s behind the timing belt. He can’t do it as his lifting equipment can’t take the vans length. So I’m gonna be looking for a large lift equipped garage down Malaga way. Thanks for reply’s and the garage I tried was English guy down velez malaga( which I got from an old thread of here, the name of the funster escapes me). But highly recommend him, totally trustworthy nice fella.
