I hate oil leaks!!!! & never had them till now. Even dripping slightly when cold and been stood for a couple of weeks. where do you start. 1 leak is forward of the engine under the gearbox i suspect this is a leaking drain plug.
there is oil residue over the exhaust etc at the rear of the car, thinking this could b from the long hot drive through france, small drip forward getting blown backwards.
i've been underneath this morning can't make out where the hell the rest could be coming from, very oily around the oil cooolers, where do they leak from ???
shall i take my lovely straight to the specialist ??
its not the same driving when you know theres something wrong !!!!
 
Might be the oil pressure switch. It's under the air cleaner box on top of the engine.

As for the gearbox drain plug what year is your car? Add it to your signature, it helps alot if you are going to ask for help.
