Default Dump Valve Spraying Oil

Hello,

Been running around in my S2 RST and have noticed that the dump valve is spraying out oil!, in fact the whole under bonnet is covered!!! Its getting everywhere!!!!. Dipstick isn't showing the oil level to be over the maximum and unsure where/how its getting in!, any Ideas?

Oil seals on your turbo a big culprit, take the compressor side silicon hose off the turbo and look if you have any oil in there, which you shouldn't.

High Crankcase compression can casue this, oil vapours travel through your breathers, into the metering unit and back into the engine via boost hoses and of course your DV.
