Hmmm

I think that’s the hose but I’ve tried uploading a pic to gallery and post several times but it doesn’t show.
Is that one I can replace without removing the bumper?
Thanks again

That looks like the culprit, it's very oily. Can you see or feel a split in it? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Leak

Had as good a look and feel as I can and can’t see or feel any splits it’s feel very rigid
Could it be leaking from the throttle body?
As you said it’s very oily all the way down so I’m assuming it must be coming from the top area?
Thanks again for your time and knowledge

While you are checking around the Turbo, it may be worth checking the Turbo Variable Vane Mechanism is moving freely.
When mine started sticking I noticed 'Wha Wha Wha' noises when lifting off the throttle.

As for finding the source of your oil-leak, the pipe failures can be very hard to spot, so I would just change out the hoses and clean and secure all the joints.
