Looks like it's be coming from the cam seals (Black circular shape just next to the hose clamp pictured.)

There are 4 of them on that end of the motor & if they're gone, then chances are the 4 other seals at the timing belt end of the engine are gone / going too.

Relatively cheap to replace, but labour is gonna cost ya. Very time consuming.

Are there any special tools needed to replace the cam seals? If its going to be a lot of labour i will get my mate to do it for me over a few days for free.

I had my timing belt done about 3 months ago sucks they didn't do it then i guess

.
They said they did some seals on the 'front end' too when they did the belts but i guessed they missed this one haha.
