When I fitted the cold air feed hose last week I noticed that where the gearbox meets the engine, it was quite oily (bearing in mind that I had the clutch replaced a few weeks previously) - I wondered if it was from that.

So I degreased it and no more leak.

Today after a 70 mph blast up the motorway and back (total miles 30) - upon fiddling around the engine bay - I noticed oil around the same area but I also noticed that it was wet inside the engine mount and as we have had no rain for a while - I got a dipper in there to find that it was oil (and it was clean like it had just come out of the bottle).

Any ideas where it is leaking from as I can't see a run line.

* I have replaced the rocker cover gasket a while back and I have checked that - thats fine.

NOT SURE THIS IS OIL - MAYBE A LEAKAGE OF BRAKE FLUID FROM THE RESERVOIR.
 
Turns out the leak is not actually a leak.

Had it checked out by my mechanic today - turns out its gear oil - overfilled when the clutch was changed.
