Crankshaft oil seal leak? Help...

[NICK19B]

I have been finding oil under my 3.0 s XF and this looks to be coming from the bell housing. I've tried 2 wins stop leak but the problem looks to be getting worse.

In fear of damaging the turbo, I've decided to stop using the car as I have lost 4 litres in as many weeks.

Any advise would be appreciateted firstly as to possible causes but mainly best way to tackle the job. I have access to hydraulic ramp set but don't really want to explore, would rather follow a recognised procedure to make best use of time

Mine is a 3.0 s diesel 2009

Ps, the oil patch on the drive was from one night only and the trail went on n on...

Hello Nick
Have you recently had an Oil and Filter change?

No, I've just been topping this up but after this weekends trail, decided it needs attention as my street is scarred with oil now

I have used the stalk to check the level and this has even leaked when its at the bottom of the scale. The inside of the bell housing is soaked when I looked in the inspection piece
