URGENT HELP required! Oil leak over rear of engine

[zidney]

Hi,

Im new to this site and hoping I can get some much needed help..!

I have a 2001 1.4 Auto which has covered 75k miles. I noticed lots of oil under the car and on further inspection noticed the rear of the engine was covered in oil. It seemed to be coming from the air filter housing so took that off and found that the right handside filter was covered in oil.

Im perplexed. I normally drive the car locally but drove back from Solihull which is about 130 miles away and drove it quite hard. That was the only thing out of the ordinary.

Any help will be greatly received.

Thank you in advance
