Major oil leak...!

Fortunately I think I know where it's coming from, but can any of you guys let me know if it's a quick fix? Thanks very much.



The oil is leaking from the black hose being secured down by the raised nut. I'm assuming (hoping) that it's a quick fix. The garage I use doesn't open until Monday.

Thanks for the quick responses, a little bit of research has shown that it could well be the vanos oil line, and the banjo fitting which has already been mentioned. I only ran the car for a few seconds to see if I could source the leak, and it is seriously pissing out all over the engine bay, with a load of oil slopping around in the drip tray (I did a short 5 minute journey prior to realising it was leaking). Will probably have to flat bed it to the garage.

Once again, thanks.

Certainly nothing untoward, what should I be looking for? I can't start her at the moment as it literally sprays oil all over the place.
