If the residue is in the area of the oil filler cap you need a new oil filler cap.
It's very common for the oil filler cap to leak on a HDi.

its all over the bulk head its thick stuff its always been there but iwas just wondering what causes it,?
icleaned all the inner wings etc the other day and it looks nice and shiny under there but then inoticed the bulk head is caked in black gunk, ive checked all the pipes no leaks and it dont drip oil

Sorted the problem today,
the rocker cover was loose so itook it all of cleaned it up and sealed it ,
strangely its not been using any oil,
i also noticed that if you look under the starter motor you can put your finger in and feel the fly wheel,
shouid there be a guard on them
looks like iwill be putting my undertray back on to stop stuff spraying up there
