Engine oil leak - not vac pump

Hi
I've got a 2009 110 Tdci, I noticed the other day that oil has been leaking around (it looks just under) the inlet manifold, now I'm guessing it cannot be the inlet manifold gasket or could oil somehow get out there if the gasket went? It's spraying over the fuel pump & engine block around the manifold, it must have been doing it for a while because the engine lower down was absolutely covered in oil. I'm really not sure what it could be as it's not obvious, it's definitely not the vac pump as I changed this recently - I suppose it could be rocker cover but not obvious either, I wonder if there are any engine breathers around there worth looking at - there is a pipe with a green cap not sure whether this is one?

Any help really would be appreciated
thanks
Mike

The bracket the vac pump bolts to has a gasket to the block

or high pressure fuel , not that uncommon for bolts coming worse , bolts are inside timing cover

both in that same area

Thanks Munch

I'll have a look later - another thing that I've found is that since taking the egr off & cleaning it I get an engine squeal at about 2500rpm - I'm a little concerned that it may be the turbo but it sounds like it's from the egr side of the engine. If I sit in neutral of clutch down it doesn't do it but if I'm driving in gear it does?

Never rains does it!!

Normally when the egr get gummed up the carbon is forced inside to the gears and motor and there normally scrap , not worth trying to clean out

also if the carbon has got inside the seal is knackered and your be for ever mucking about with it , expensive but better to replace it

I checked the gears and they were clean - the egr is doing it's cleaning cycle.

I would suspect that this is a leak in the induction or boost pipework causing a whistling noise when the turbos is boosting. It is not unusual on Pumas, but is usually a split in the hose from the turbo to the intercooler, or a leak between the exhaust manifold and the turbo.

If you've distrubed the EGR I would be looking for something not fitted correctly in the area you've disturbed.
