Oil leak

[Dan76]

Hey guys have noticed oil on my shed floor so took bash plate off and there is oil all over the diff looked up and oil dripping off bottom pulley right where sump joins motor any ideas cheers lads

Most likely crank seal but could also be cam seal/s as well.
Crank seal is the most common these engines and easy enough to get to. Seal is u der $20 and called a front crank oil seal

[Dan76]

Hey pauly is this a easy job and is there a way to check to see if this is where leak is from cheers

yes as Pauly said it could be either the front crankshaft seal or 1 of the 2 front camshaft seals leaking oil. either way you will have to remove the cranks harmonic balancer plus the front plastic covers along with the timing belt to repair this leak , either engine seal or cam seal the belt needs to come off unfortunetly.

[Pauly Faulkner]

Not really as you need to take the front covers off.
Easiest way would be to remove passenger side cam cover and check that seal first, then remove drivebelt and alternator plus the idler/tensioner bracket and remove drivers side cover and check that seal.
To see crank seal you would have to keep removing stuff off the front but by that time you may as well just do the crank seal at the least anyways while you're there as it's very common.
