Hi there ive read through a few threads about oil leaks but can't find one in this area. I have attached some photos hopefully this helps. Any help much appreciated!! I have changed the rocker gasket about 2 years ago.
It's obviously dripping onto the top of the gearbox as seen in photos and then off the bottom of the gearbox underneath

Thanks for your reply. I've had a look at the actual sensor and the oil starts slightly nearer the back of the engine than the sensor and also a little bit lower down. There is a little oil on the hoses behind engine on the same side as the photo

Any other ideas anyone? I've ruled out the cam sensor as there is no oil around it at all. If you look at the picture you will be able to see a puddle of oil ontop of the gearbox and then on the bottom right of the picture you can see a hose which has some oil on top of it. I am thinking it could just be the rocker cover again despite the fact I changed it two years ago.

It's not coming from either of the cam shaft housings is it? It can run between the cams near the spark plugs and run down the thermostat housing onto the gearbox.

This was so long ago the leak actually reduced quite a bit now I think it was where I had filled the oil and spilt it around the edge it went under the rocker cover and down the side and thats why it looks burnt on to the block slightly.
