does any one have a clue why i would have oil in a breather pipe which comes from the intercooler! does this mean my turbo will be affected but remeber that the engine was blowing pure oil out over the top of the engine! garage said it was engine over compressing??? any ideas! i am going to take the turbo off and clean but dont want to drop the new lump in a realise the turbo is shagged aswell??????

Check the Turbo Shaft for play, this will give you a fair idea of the condition of the Turbo.

well i drove it the other day onto ramps and did boot it abit oil was coming out still from exhaust aswell but maybe its where it has been sitting for 6 weeks the turbo works fine but im worried that its shagged aswell dump valve still winds up and seems clean just the intercooler full of oil???????

have started cleaning it all out but when she broke down there was oil everywhere!!!!!!!! and was leaking fast???????
she still picked up well considering!
