Bad oil leak?

Needing some help, I have a very bad oil leak that is visible only from the front drivers side front bumper bumper area under the lower air intake, fog Lamy area, you can't see a thing without dismantling the bumper etc but wondered if anyone had an idea what or where this might be coming from, nothing obvious around the filter cooler area and I believe the pump is on the other side but it is pouring out so any ideas or help with possible know problem areas would be greatly appreciated./

Hi mate

I would say it’s coming from one of the engine oil cooler pipes because they run in that area.
Best thing to do is remove the under tray and have a look.

+1 for the oil cooler pipes - that's exactly where my one went. For me it was the solid pipe.

Thanks for the tips guys, just waiting to get it on a hoist so they can have a look. I have ordered the parts up to replace the hose if that's what it is, if its the solid pipe is there a fix for that or buy a new one?
