Okay, just replaced the oil cooler / full oil and filter change.
Filled it up with water and fresh oil and turned the key.
It fires up first time with no problems.
Had a look underneath as you do only to see fresh engine oil pishing down behind the block 
Got underneath there with the torch expecting to see it coming from around the filter housing only to find it is coming out of (what looks) like a hole in the block above the filter housing, near the down pipe / exhaust manifold 

Anybody got any ideas on this please ??
I'll try and take a picture later when I get these pigging oil soaked clothes off

The oil cooler pipes bolt into the block around about there

Did you bend the cooler pipes or take them off if you bent them out the way probably cracked one and oil coming out.

I'm just charging my camera batteries now but it looks to me that its coming from the engine block above where the oil cooler pipes are   

Yes, the pipes was undone at both ends

[tigers_gonads]

Is they a oil core plug around there ?

[tigers_gonads]

Apologies if these are a bit big

[kevinp58]

It could be the top end of the oil pipes not seated properly  was there oil there before you did the work if not then it will almost certainly be something you have done i:e not tightened properly or seal not seating 

[tigers_gonads]

Everything was oil free before I started 

I'm beginning to think that one of the pipes onto the oil cooler hasn't sealed properly 
The front of the car is well and truly jacked up so any leak would flow straight back towards the back of the engine and work its way down 

Opinions please before I pull the plenum / fannymold off AGAIN 

[kevinp58]

So dry before and now oil then it must be the pipes not seating properly even so you need to take the plenum off to get a proper look
