A couple of weeks ago oil was leaking from the oil return pipe that goes from the turbo to the lump!

I replaced this and all was fine but now it is happening again but the pipe seems fine! It is tight at both ends also but small drips of oil drip onto the exhaust and smoke

Where could it be coming from?

Thanks

Poom, I've gave up trying to solve oil leaks on my old engine! Everytime one got cured - it forced it out of somewhere else!! Lol

Most of the time it's the cam seals that leak it just blows onto the return line as you drive and drips down it.

think the gasket is circa £1.20 2 bolts to take the return pipe off the turbo, replace new gasket (once remove rubber oil return hose)
