Damaged front of van

[Burnerman]

The oil drips aren’t enough to make any significant difference to the oil level, but do check it anyway.....
Engine stopped for a while, remove and wipe the dipstick and dip again - keep it horizontal.

Is this death trap still on the road?

Yeah and heading to Hertfordshire cones around drains won't stop it either

It’s hardy a desperate situation unless you get a complaint!
Likely causes are a damaged sump plug washer, a drip from the oil filter housing ( unlikely), or maybe a crankshaft to gearbox oil seal. This is a big job!
Rusty and porous sump pans aren’t unknown either.
Find out where the leak is coming from, but don’t worry or panic about getting it fixed.....looks like it’s been there a long time!

The mechanic couldn't spot any leaks. No leaks on boards under van where I park it

 

[Burnerman]

Maybe it’s not your van that’s the culprit!
