oil around the turbo (hdi)

[wibbz]

hi all i have just brought myself a hdi and have noticed quite a bit off oil around the rear of the engine around where the turbo is located not sure where it can be coming from so any sudgestions would be greatly received

Probably the oil return from the turbo, the standard clip isn't a jubilee so can't be tightened when it inevitably loosens over time. Both of the HDis I've had leaked oil there, but not enough to drip on the floor.

oil feed?? rocker cover gasket leaking, clean the engine down and wait for oil to seep out again,you should be able to see where its coming from then

thanks peeps i will be cleaning it all over next weekend il let you know how i get on with it

as tom says, probably nothing to worry about, if it's not actually dripping. Most if not all turbos end up with oil on them from the return line..
