So looks like it was the timing chain. The tensioners had completely given in and the chain and had extended to such a level that it was hitting the rocker cover breaking it eventually and causing oil to leak.

I was lucky that the engine was still going and I chose not to drive any further in that state otherwise the engine would have needed to be opened which IMO would have been a debate between scrapping the car altogether.
