2011 4.4TDV8. More oil leaks and burning oil smell...

I have had my pil cooler replaced but still have a burning smell coming in the cabin after a motorway run. I have been under today and found the below leaks, any advice would be welcome.

Pipe on the drivers front, just in front of the wheel. I am not sure what this is for or how to fix it.




A small patch of oil on the rear of the engine, cant see where this is coming from and doesn't seem to be dripping

A small grease leak from my steering column




Advice on if you think it could be the problem and how to fix it welcomed!

It is going back to them soon for a MOT so will be getting them to have another look then. I don't think the front flexi hose will be related to the oil cooler though will it? I am not sure what that hose is for. It seems to be a swaged end so no way to tighten it as far as I can work out

That flexi is a power steering hose
Smell could be residual oil still burning off from the cooler leak but they should have cleaned that all off.
Did they put new Viton o rings on the turbo feed pipe on rear of cooler. They leak. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I assume you mean oil cooler?
There is usualy a resudue of oil leftover from a leaking cooler which may take a while to clear but worth getting the garage to check it anyway. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Had the same on mine. Replaced the oil cooler and still had the smell. It took a couple of runs before it was finaly got rid of.

Thanks DrRob, I will see about getting that replaced when it goes in for the MOT, it is the only actually leaking rather than seeping leak I can find. As I only smell burning after a motorway run, I'm thinking that it is the only time the windspeed is high enough to blow it back to the exhaust from the front of the engine.

JayGee, IGP, I should have said it is over a month since I had the cooler done, I'd have expected it to have burnt off by now.

It took mine ages to burn off residual oil spills after replacing the oil cooler. At least 2 months, mainly motorway driving. -------------------------

Thats good to know, I don't do that regular motorway driving, not crawling around but more A roads not over 50mph.

I was under the car last night, again...

I have noticed what I am fairly sure is the secondary turbo through a small cut out in the offside front wheel arch. Looking where the arrow is in this photo

I can see this...

Which when looking closer seems to be leaking oil out of the rear of the turbo

What do we think about this? I am going to take the wheel arch liner out when I have a chance and have a closer look. I am hoping it is just a loose jubilee clip. I regularly give it a good thrashing to get the secondary turbo running, I haven't seen any smoke out of the back in the whole time I have owned it.
