oil leak...but where from?
ok il admit im new to RST's so apologise for my amateur question but can anybody narrow down what may be causing this oil leak...
here is a picture...
http://tinypic.com/e7l05u.jpg
its hard to see from the pic but oil is dripping directly onto the exhaust.
this is annoying as its:
a)dripping onto the garage floor and making a mess
b)dripping onto a sometimes extremely hot exhaust causing it to smoke!
it has recently had the sump gasket replaced by the local garage and this leak started soon after this....
any help would be much appreciated!

That hose much endure very hot oil and you need to byu a special hose from Ford which costs about 40 punds. Check it first for damage. Secure it with jubilee clips, but don't over tighten them, it will damage the hose. You might also change the oil return pipe gasket, you get thoose from Ford. It's important that the gasket is flat and the surfaces is absolutely clean.

had a quick look, and there is a split on the hose running parallel to the jubilee clip nearest the sump.

That looks exactly the same as what happend to my car and it was the rocker cover gasket, cost me £2.30 from a local motor factors and that sorted it.
