After hitting -21C a few weeks ago my car (2000 connie 2.0 V6) had a massive oil leak. About 1 liter disappeared pr 10 km, so this was a proper one. It turned out to be the breather pipes that had frosen and popped out. Ordered and fitted new ones from Rimmer, and thought everything was ok. But she's still leaking. Not as much as before, but still a lot.

It was suggested to someone in another thread here with a similar problem that item nr 4 in this picture, the Camshaft Oil Seal/Cap, would be the primary suspect but this one is nice and dry on my car. I'm not able to see where the leak is, but the oil spillage are on the left hand side when facing the car. I could suspect the oil seal nr 3, but I'm just shooting in the dark here.
Suggestions?
Thanks
