    Oil leak & high idle

    OK i have an oil leak, not unusual seeing it's a pommie car, but this is strange as it looks as if it's engine oil coming from the intercooler hoses, i initialy thought it was coming from the gearbox cooler but the colour of the oil is that dirty black of engine oil.

    Now this could mean that the turbo is leaking, right, but could this also be the high idle, this high idle is intermittant and is driving me nuts.

    Any thoughts about all this, could it be the oil in the harness causing the high idle.

    Could the turbo have an oil leak and be coming out the intercooler hoses.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    clean your intake system out.
    intercooler, hoses egr valve....
    your enging could be running on the oil in the I/C.

    the oil in my egr valve, b4 it fell off, was incredable! it left a pool on the floor....
    i think all td5's pass oil? yours might just have a large build up in the I/C after all the k's youve done.

    my theroy anyway...


    cheers phil
