Oil in Air Filter

[NCF 110]

Hi, I have just found some oil on top of my air filter , round type 200tdi defender , it looks like its coming from small pipe from the engine side breather filter.:(
I did a long trip yesterday around 400km mostly freeway driving .

how many km has the engine done? Is it long enough in the tooth to think blow-by?

Only 300,000 km , just about worn-in , it turns out its a common problem when driving on a long run , the oil comes from a pressure build up and runs into the top of the air filter via the turbo , so nothing to worry about .
Thanks anyway

I have the same problem with my 2.5na, looks like there is a lot of back compression.
