With impeccable timing (we take the caravan from Norfolk to Scotland tomorrow) I noticed some oil leaks where the FL2 had been parked. Investigated and it appears to be coming from the power steering fluid reservoir. There's what appears to be an overflow hole at the side and it's leading slowly from there.

Question is, do I risk the drive tomorrow or not? I've read about the steering rack/pump failures but my steering doesn't feel heavy and there's no evidence of any whining from the pump. The fluid is quite dark and dirty though.

Any thoughts welcome.

Forget that (been a long day). It's actually oil in the coolant reservoir. I'm assuming that's a definitely holiday-killer, right?

Oh dear bad timing.

No sign of water in the oil, so I'm guessing oil cooler. Not going to risk it. Just got to find somewhere local that hires vehicles with tow bars ASAP tomorrow. Wife and daughter already in tears. What a great evening.

I'am thick lol, but I bet some one will answer with a cell or two

Very sad but at least you noticed it and may have saved a much bigger bill. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Well £600 for a new oil cooler and coolant reservoir and the labour to flush all the oil out of the system is a big enough bill in my book. Unfortunately I have no real option but to pay it if I want the car back on the road. It'll be getting traded in soon I think.

Just looked on net and Tank and Cooler seem to be available for about £215 all in. So £600 seems excessive to me.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Me too, but then I don't have much choice. I need it back on the road next week and I'm (finally) on holiday 500 miles away.
