Hi all. Driving my xud9te down the motorway and the stop light came on. After stopping and letting it cool, I inspected it and there is oil all over the underside of the car and up the rear doors and wheels. It looks like an oil hose has been rubbing on another hose, causing it to split and loose all its oil. I should this something common or is there somewhere else I should look before fixing this pipe for it to still have the same problem.... if I can't find the fault, the car will be going to the scrappy.

Probably oil return from turbo - rubbed on driveshaft somehow possibly and shat it's oil up the back of the car.

Yes, not advisable at all to start, let alone attempt to drive.
Get it towed, hopefully you caught it in time before any damage done. Get leak fixed, and fill with oil.

Found the problem. There is a pipe coming off the bottom of the block. Just above the sump. It is some flexi pipe which runs for about 5" before connecting to a solid pipe which runs up the block. Well the flexi pipe has split. I presume it's not the right type of pipe for the job and broke the rubber down from the inside. I'll replace that, fill with oil, charge battery then try again. Thanks for the comments guys.
