They normaly have an oil to water heat exchanger between the oil filtr and oil pump....so check the seals carefuly.

Sorted it.if you remove the oil filter,then unscrew the thread the filter screws on it reveals a allen bolt,undo that and it separates,inbetween the two sections is a rubber O ring which had a split,replaced ,rebuilt and cured,cost of O ring...£1.50 and in stock!
