I have the very same oil leak pointed out to me by peugeot when getting some work done on the automatic gearbox. I left it as the bill was already high and was just going to keep an eye on it. I took it to a local garage and while walking out to it with the mechanic he explained where it was how bad it was before he had even seen the car. He checked it out and told me not to waste my money getting it done as there is very little getting out and that they are known for this at that area. I just keep an eye on it and don't bother but I don't drive the car like I want to get anywhere fast I just use it to get around in and watch the petrol consumption. If I drove the way I used to though I would have got it done. Reading your post has brought something up though, the brown overflow bottle.....I have one of those lol....

Brown overflow bottle is not necessarily a head gasket failed now. It could be an old problem previously repaired.
