how do you open the bonnet?

sorry guys maybe a silly question but how do you open the bonnet?
I very stupidly bought a tuscan S 2003 from a guy on piston heads without having it looked at first... two days later i discover it's pissing out oil..... only when running though.... so I need to fill her up before driving again.... do you guys have issues with oil coming out?

i take it you meen the main bonnet you want to open. if you open the front bonnet first, you will see 4 nuts. 1 in each corner the front ones are a bit harder to see. remove these, then at the top of the bonnet near the windscreen if you look through the gaps you will see 2 catches, 1 on each side these are pushed back with a screwdriver(they have a sort of metal cover over them which is what to push back). then the whole thing should be loose. you will need someone else help you lift it off.
hope this helps. im sure someone else will tell you how a bit more technically, but it will make sense when you start. hope its just a split pipe, if not id get it on a trailer. they found a slight oil leak on mine last time it went in. that was just a small split in the return pipe to the tank under the small bonnet. worth a check wlie your there. good luck

Looks like it's a faulty pressure valve... could have been worse... thanks
