MY12 D4 TDV6 won't start and engine oil running down side of
Whilst driving the our MY12 D4 TDV6 came to a halt and had to be delivered home on the back of a truck. The engine would initially start and run, but very roughly and undrivable, but now will not start at all.
I noted today that there is engine oil leaking out when attempting to start the engine. Having removed the underbelly cover it's running down where the automatic transmissions bell housing meets the engine on the right side (when sitting inside the vehicle) - presumably coming out from near the backside of the head area which isn't easily visible.
There are no fault codes displaying on the GAP Diagnostic IID Tool.
Any tips or ideas? What's up the back of the engine that could be leaking the engine oil down?Mine - MY09 L319 D3 HSE Lion 2.7 TDV6 and modified MY03 LT L318 Discovery 2a HSE Td5 15P

Timing chain, top rear. I would remove the oil filter first and check for metal shrapnel.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Vehicle ended up being sent to the local independent specialist due to being time poor with my D2 Td5 and the BMW both already in my garage needing attention. The issue is with the vacuum pump apparently, but unsure what exactly has happened or way. Apparently body off job for repair. He's got a month + backlog infront of it though...Mine - MY09 L319 D3 HSE Lion 2.7 TDV6 and modified MY03 LT L318 Discovery 2a HSE Td5 15P
