Technical TwinAir oil leak

[Liteboy]

I did an oil an filter change on our 2014 TwinAir Trekking at the weekend and noticed that the side of the sump under the pulleys was coated in a fine mist of oil as was the undertray. I have given it a full degrease and nipped up the sump bolts which all had a small amount of slack in them. Couldn't work out where the oil is coming from, just wondered if there was a common issue?

Nothing reported..
My 2013 is still oiltight

Giving this a bump as I have a similar leak. It appears to be coming from quite high up the engine. Any suggestions? Thanks

I believe there is an issue with the sealing of the timing case, I’ve seen a suggestion to remove and reseal, but have two smaller lines bridging the head and block, where is seems the factory sealant is under-applied…

I have this on mine but when looking at the work involved, its just easier to live with the minor oil misting and cleaning it occasionally.

Interesting to see the dates..

My 2012 punto may well fall into that category..

The 63 plate panda..probably not

Panda seemed dry (see GUIDES)

PUNTO has not been studied recently..
