It obviously could be something catastrophic like theTC, but equally could be an oil cooler pipe loose or split. You'll know soon enough! Wishing you well though.

hi well thankyou for the reply im hoping its just a pipe blown off and thrown oil down amd around the converter as there is gbx oil dropped down from above the tc,i was foing to sell it soon too as i dont use the car much and seemed a waste for it to sit there
thankyou for your reply

Good luck with it. Fingers crossed that it's nothing too expensive.
