Right then,
the pipe that goes from the ait filter to the turbo hsa oil in it and it appers to be coming out and coating the underside of the turbo and that area.
Now the car had a new pcv before i got it, so how else can oil get there?
Cheers for your wisdom chaps

The oil in the pipe means the pcv is working. Don't worry mate, its normal.

How much oil are you talking about ,is it marking the ground where you park it ?

Enough to be all over the bottom of the cold side of the blower, also once hot and reversing you can smell hot/burnt oil. And if the car is sat idling for a couple of mins, blip the gas and there is a cloud of lovely oiliness. thought the turbo was at fault so have just fitted a fully reconed one, but all the same faults are there.

Sounds more like turbo oil seals, are you sure it had a new pcv before you bought it?
