    @Peterfalk78

    Ive attached images with an arrow to where the oil was bubbling.
    Therer also appears to be a leak above judging by the pipes, but i not sure if this would have the oil bubbling on the bolt .

    My opinion is that there is a worn O-ring that needs replacing.
    There is a screw at the top that holds that filler tube in place.
    Remove screw, lift up the tube, replace the O-ring and push the tube back in, replace screw.
    if it is exactly where your arrow is, there is a crack in the housing? maybe the housing bolt was loose and vibration cracked it, or it was over tightened.
