Thanks Pedro, will check it out

There are 2 fixes that should be done to improve the situation.
EGR removal.The TD5 has an EGR system(exhaust gas recycling),its computer controlled,exhaust gas is fed into the intake manifold to "clean up" emmisions.It isnt needed shortens engine life and reduces engine output.Search EGR Removal.
Blowby filtering.Another emmisions issue that can be modified.Crancase blowby is fed direct into the air inlet tract,it is VERY unhealth for turbo diesels to burn this,its rich with oil mist that can carbonize in the turbo.The fix is a filter that condenses the oil mist and returns the oil condensate to the sump and the filtered blowby gasses into the inlet system as normal.Search Pro Vent.Lots of pics/info on AULRO as many of us took part in a University based trial.
Another leak spot is the oil pressure sender,its just behind the turbo,the heat deterioates them.
Goodluck
