Well fitted new seal from pug which was £5.65 plus vat,i took off oil filter then removed the threaded shaft which hold the oil cooler and removed the old seal which some how had twisted out of shape which must have caused the leak...put a small amount of oil on the new seal and refitted and all is well.. Spoke to a pug mechanic and he said to always use pug oil and give the car time to cool down after a run as letting it cook and switching straight off causes the seal to go brittle and over time let oil pass through...did not need to remove inlet manifold either...happy days
