I didn't pull mine apart, but it left a slick on the bricks!
Unbelievable.

Alrighty then,
I have replaced the modified vacuum hoses and they were, well, dripping with oil.
However I did this in the field so to speak(Levuka 4x4 park) so didn't replace the valve and spring at the pump end - coz I has too fat fingers and didn't want to risk a 'sproing' into the undergrowth.
Since returning, I have fitted an oil/air separator (catch can) to assess the magnitude of oil migration now everything is new.
I am aghast! it's only been 4 days since I fitted the catch can and already there is a noticeable film of oil in it!
I am going to have to remove and clean the modded vacuum pipes as well as replace the valve and spring.
I'll also start investigating what scale of PITA replacing the vac pump is, as that's the only real solution.
Cheers
Ralph

Had a similar response from BMW recently regarding an X5 with a failed booster. Recall for oil in line had been done with no booster replacement. I argued that booster failure was probably because of oil ingress, known fault, subject to recall, etc. Their response was bring us the car and pay for us to check it ($600) and IF we find oil we will put in a request to BMW. IF they agree we will replace the booster. If not, you will have to pay. Booster retail about 2 grand, plus the $600, plus the fitting cost. I got a TRW booster out of Germany and fitted it all for under $600.
Has anyone used any other one-way/non-return/check valve in the vac line as mine needs it's 3rd or 4th check valve? I wonder if anything from a Puma,TD5, Tdi, etc engine would fit?
