Gasket could be leaking.
Have you tried switching the TC off? TC is set to "ON" by default when you turn the key.

I will try that mate cheers it isnt using any oil but the oil is getting on the downpipe on the right hand side and it smells horrible lol.
My old one had a slightly 'weeping' oil leak which I never managed to cure or even properly identify, though I'm also half convinced that part of it was sloppy oil-filling (by me) and the resulting trail of oil down the front of the block seemed to bear this out... there was never any evidence of water getting into the oil indicating a faulty HG, so I wasn't too bothered.
I just made sure the oil level never dropped below the halfway point on the dipstick (nominal oil level on the V6 is at the upper limit to prevent oiling issues under hard cornering) and topped up with a little drop between services.
