Hi everyone.
Just done the annual oil and filters. Iv owned Bluey 3years now (tdi90 currently on 92k miles). Its the 3rd service iv done and each time the rear of the engine is oily, I can see its from the turbo. Iv cleaned best I can each year and then conveniently forgotten about it!!
It worried me at first but iv come to accept its just how it is? my calibrated leak!? Check dipstick every month and generally top up every quarter. Usually used what's left from a 5 litre container by the time i'm getting around to doing a service again (so not using much through the year).
Am I right in being ok with this or should I be concerned? i.e. its giving me all the warnings it can?
Is any one else's the same?
N.b. there has always been a smear of oil in the hose from turbo to intercooler as well?
Your thoughts are appreciated?
