I was told by my local garage that the engine breather holes were blocked about 2 months ago which was fixed under warranty. He didn't go too much into detail as i really haven't got a clue when it comes to a diesel.
When I removed the large engine cover the oil was resting on the top of the cyclinder block. There was about 1mm coverage over the whole length of the block. Also while on tick over the oil has sprayed over the PAS pump (left hand side of the engine). You can see and feel a mixture of air and oil coming out of this hole.
I have never topped up the coolent or oil on my ZT plus it only had service when the breather holes were fixed. Having a better inspection today in the daylight there is no visual oil around the engine apart from the cyclinder block mentioned above.
The car is in the garage tomorrow for the thorough inspection so I will keep you guys updated in what this could be as it's a strange one to be honest.
