Oil leak from the back on the block



  Clio 172
Hello all,

My Clio 172 is in need of some love. It’s leaking a little bit of oil. It’s only a few drops on the driveway a week but still a concern.

I’ve had a look underneath and there seems to be fresh oil around the exhaust manifold gasket which has seeped down onto the o/s driveshaft and lower subframe.

I’ve attached some pictures of the leak, just wondering where my best place to start is. Is the sump gasket a likely cause or perhaps the rocker cover gasket needs resealing?

Any suggestions would be greatly helpful
