Oil leaking from Exhaust between Cat & DPF

I have been having the dreaded smoke under hard acceleration after driving steady on my Disco 4 13 plate SDV6. It runs fine no loss of power and does not always happen. Normally when I have been driving steadily for a while. Happens generally when accelerate hard, big ploom of smoke out the back it clears and then seem ok for a while. I assumed it was the secondary turbo oil drain pipe which I know Land Rover have issued a technical notice. However I have had it up on the lift today and there is quite a bit of oil leaking from the exhaust at the joint between the Cat & DPF. Looks clean around the Turbo no signs of a leak. It has been using oil about a litre every 3000 miles. Any advise what it might be. Thanks in advance.

Turbo drain is still the most likely culprit Thumbs Up

Ok thanks, just concerned as it was quite a bit of oil coming out of joint, looked like it had been coming out at pressure as well as it was sprayed all around. I will get oil drain pipe changed and keep it monitored. Thanks
