I'm not losing engine oil as there's no change on the dip stick.


I'm still yet to check out around the HP.Fuel.Pump if there's a leak in that back corner but the last time I had the airbox out I checked the vacuum valves and it were all clean down the back there.


Doesn't seem to have worsened when I did my first service 120K to now 214K. My trans will be flushed this service (got a 20L drum a month ago) so will investigate again soon.
214K - I'm catching you.....

My leak is much the same as yours, Just gets to the dripping stage between the transmission and engine at the 7500km service interval. I degrease and wipe down and go again....
