Breather pipe split ? An actual oil leak ?

I dont think i know many 'oily' scent air fresheners...

Lol think the rocker cover gasket has a slight weep

I had the same issue with mine, turned out the spring had collapsed in the dump valve jamming it open

The dump valve still working ok tho

Clean the leak off with a jetwash for now (if not major) and try this,

Check all breather pipes and carbon canister if you have one.

That pipe is a coolant pipe! If there's oil dipping in the middle at the front chances are its the crank shaft oil seal! Or could b power steering fluid coming from the pump and running down the engine

na must be the front crank seal then collecting on that pipe. defo engine oil. will do a belt and chuck a new seal in next weak sometime.
