Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Spoke to Frank again this afternoon, and he doesn't think its as bad as he first thought.. Although he has lost about half a pint of oil...

Apparently it's leaking from the drivers side of the engine somewhere although it possibley looks like its around the injectors..

I've not seen the vehicle but this is from the conversation earlier..Hopefully he'll make it home ok..

Thanks for your help with this.

Got home ok, still have a drip of oil from engine but it would appear no loss on dipstick   :shock:  

I'm gonna investigate further and will let you know the outcome.

Right then, the motor has been to hospital where the problem was diagnosed as the vacuum pump, as Dazzawhipple said earlier, two of the bolts/rivets on the front of the unit had gone allowing a small squirt of oil to be ejected when the engine was running.

A replacement Vac pump has sorted it all out and now my engine is dribble free - for now anyway.

Thanks for your help and suggestions everyone.
