Stuck hand under car to fit cold air feed for induction kit. On bottom of engine was loads of fresh oil dripping onto ground. Can smell it burning sometimes too (dripping on manifold?)
New oil pump?
Filter?
Sump plug / nut?
How hard to repair the above?

Give us a clue! A leaking filter is obvious, and easy - new filter. Sump plug is obvious, new sump plug. It maybe better to replace those two and throw in an oil change just for good luck. If it looks like its leaking from the gearbox, its most likely your rear crank oil seal, which is a gearbox out job. What about your sump pan gasket, or rocker cover gasket... The list goes on!

Balls!
I dunno where it's coming from. How can I tell? It's just in the centre at the front on the bottom of the manifold I think. Yes that sounds confusing. Might ask Vauxhall to take a look tomorrow cuz it's going in for another repair

itll be your filter then, drop oil aswell, as fittin a new filter to old oil kinda defeats the point

mines in a similar state, bottom of the sump is greased up with oil from somewhere... bout time it got an oil change so ill see if its the filter on mine or the sump gasket.
£20 does nearly 200 miles if i drive like a granny - nice to see what it could do on a full tank
