Yes that's right, this welding crack was on the exhaust manifold. And yes, I used an endoscopic style camera initially to find it.
My experience with this engine had been nothing short of traumatic. Many many hours fault finding and repairing a number of things, cleaning entire intake and exhaust system, and still there was no substantial improvement in dpf regeneration distances. Then about two months ago something went and it just started pouring blue smoke of of the exhaust and I couldn't get it up to highway speeds. It has been parked up now since then until I can get a decent span of time to start pulling it down again...

Hi guys, I need to make a comment after 6 weeks have passed since I had exhaust manifold replaced. Replacement + the new exhaust manifold costed me 750 €. This leak absolutely had no impact of whatsoever on DPF regeneration system.
The real thing with these engine is, the more you use highways, the better particle filter gets. Unfortunately for me and possible many other owners, I use highways on rare occasions.
I'll just make sure I change my engine oil regularly (15000 km) because from my point of view, that is the only thing that helps to keep these engines healthy despite more frequent DPF regeneration cycles.
