oil leak? anyone had this problem?

[audisingh]

From the pictures i cannot work out where the oil leak is coming from.

After a couple days driving (motorway) more oil seems to escape and concentrate in one area

I checked the oil level and this has dropped.

Anyone's advice would be much appreciated

Im no expert mate but thats coming from the egr and from what i understand its normal mine is the same. Have you ever taken the egr out and cleaned? How much has the oil level dropped cos i doubt its the egr thats causing it

as above most are like that, this is not causing your oil loss mate

The oil is coming from the turbo,the oil accumulates in the pressure system,to get rid of it you need to remove the turbo hoses from the intercooler and let it drain overnight,and clean the insides of the hoses

Thanks for all the advice.

Can't remember off the top of my head but do you need to remove the front bumper to get to the turbo ?

If I left it as it was would this damage the turbo over time?

It will not destroy the turbo,but it makes a mess in the engine bay,and in the event of too much oil in the tubo pressure system,you can get over revving,and that can destroy the engine
