Oil leak


Hi all, I have an oil leak and I think it's coming from the large pipe that attaches to the intercooler.
The problem is the screw to tighten the clip is in the most ridiculous place and it's side on so I can't work out how to reach it, anyone had similar issues? I've attached pics.
Any help gratefully received!!

^^ Why?

Isn't possible to use a 7mm tubular hex with some articulations?
If not, the simple thing is to cut the damn clip and install one of your own and tighten it as you wish and from where you wish.

Judging by the amount of corrosion in the engine bay, I would say you have playing in salt water?

Just because you cant normally see it doesnt mean the engine bay has to be left filthy, its good to know what cant be seen is as clean as it can be, bit like your underpants.

Thanks for all the comments about the state of the engine bay Rolling Eyes that's 8 years of north scotland winters and gritted roads.
Alex good idea re the cutting but its all mega tight in there not sure I could do it.

Just a thought but you can get the front bumper off in about 25 mins. There is a video on here somewhere showing you what to do. Might get you easier access. Or perhaps just remove the driver side wheel arch cover first and see if that gets you in.

Yeah I did look at the wheel arch liner but the bolts are totally rusted solid. Bumper off Shocked that's way out of my comfort zone but good idea!

I would leve one lose bolt in the top off bumper
That way you can unplug wiring etc all on your own
It really is quite easy to get off
