Oil pooling on top of engine.. near the injectors. A Class CDI W176

[Sjpp91]

Evening everyone,

I seem to have oil pooling on top of the engine. Happened to notice it by chance when I took the engine cover off to clean.

I’ve taken a few photos, seems to be filling each “hole” next to the injectors.

Any ideas where it may be from? Anything I could check?

First post from me; sorry if I’ve missed anything

I'd say it's more than likely cam cover gasket leaking, unless oil has been spilt when topped up

Thanks for the reply mate.

If it's near any cable looms, get it sorted soon as you can. Oil can work its way up cables (yes UP cables), and into ECUs.
