Hi Wondering if anyone can give me ( enthusiastic but non mechanical ) any pointers to tracking down an unsightly and worrying oil leak on a 91 9000CDi, It's done about 120000 miles and been regularly serviced. I have started to notice a LOUDish ticking sound from the engine on cold starts (well cold for England) which does go away one the engine is warm. The leak at the moment is not a bad one, judging from the slick on my driveway, but I would rather send time (money) now than face a huge problem later on. My biggest concern is that the leak will get worse and that it might damage the engine itself. Any help would be appreciated. Mark
