im not sure where mine is coming from yet....i had a clip missing off the oil return pipe for the turbo but this hasnt completely cured it......i think its coming out of the breather pipe where it goes into the block.....just a new o-ring i hope.

i knew a few from other shows but still felt a little in the dark for ages, i am in the army and always welcome the new boys so its maybe just me but i did not like being left to try and make friends when you should be welcomed in to meet people mate
