1.9 1Y oil leak source?

Post by nucleus666 »

Hi folks

Absolute newbie here with a 1982 with a 1.9 1Y engine. I’ve recently developed an oil leak which looks like it may be originating from either the base of the dipstick (there’s certainly a good puddle of oil there) or slightly further up somewhere, then running down and accumulating on the underside of the engine. I gave everything a good clean to try work out where it is coming from but am currently no further forward. See pics. Anyone got any ideas as to source of leak and what may be required to remedy?

Any help appreciated.
