Oil Leak at the back of the engine.

[littleblackflash]

I've started to get an oil patch on the garage floor under the clutch. I've not cleaned it off to see where the leak is coming from, so what is the most likely cause. It looks like engine oil.

The engine starts and runs perfectly. No smoke, idles perfectly and no power loss.

Put this in the search section at the top as someone else had this problem

If from the back of the sump - then it's just the rear sump seal. If from the jiggle pin - it's oil being forced past the rear crank labyrinth - by excessive pressure in the crankcase, and wear on the rear main bearing. Clear the breathers....

Or could be front bearing on the gearbox. Engine oil in the gearbox too on standard.
