   Dont think it wud be anything to do with ur induction kit, ur engine hasnt done that many miles so i wudnt think it was oil seals, hav u checked ur drive or road where u park the car over night, 4 oil?? Are u using the correct oil??

   Had another look and it appears to be front crank seal oil is behind the t/cover. What is the favourite place for oil leaks behind the cover as I would like to have seals or whatever ready when its stripped in a couple of weeks
