300Tdi oil seepage
Yes I know they leak but mine is actually dry in most cases.

Mine has a seep at both sides of the engine.
I've washed the engine and after a 37°C day I rolled back under the vehicle to see what is going on. Vehicle wasn't started after wash.

There was a oil drop on the the "support" running from the engine mount to the gearbox. The other side was just moist where the "support" is fastened to the engine.

The two things I did see:

Firstly some bolts of the engine mounts were wet. Are these through holes?

Secondly some of the bolts on the vacuum pump was wet. Are these also through holes?

The oil filter housing seems dry, I will monitor it.

The normal oil seep from the intake manifold is there but very small.

Thanks for any advice.
