Supercharged RR badly leaking engine oil..

After just getting back from a trip out i noticed i could smell 'oil' coming from the heater inside. Switched the car off and had a look, it seems to be coming out pretty fast and has covered the underneath of the car, its coming from around the drivers side in front of the drivers wheel. Is hard to see where exactly with the covers underneath but doesnt seem to be coming from the oil filter, is there anything else simple it could be before i get it booked in at a garage? Thanks

Is it engine oil or ATF oil?

It'll be the cooler pipes that run around the oil filter / cooler assembly.

When I change dthe oil on mine the last time I noticed that they didn't look the healthiest.....

If you have look at the spoiler vent on the RHS there is an additional oil cooler in there....look down from the top of the engine bay and you can see it as well. Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather.....

Took the car to RST land rover in mersea just up the road from me, cant recommend them enough, really helpful guys and even allowed me to have a look under the car whilst it was on the ramp, turned out to be the oil cooler, so a new one is needed.
