« on: April 21, 2011, 12:30:23 pm »
 noticed on my car its getting very small traces of oil in the air filrer pipe(when you lift the engine cover of thier is a pipe that comes of the rocker cover breather and into the air filter housing,its that little pipe has traces in)not sure if that is the problem thouWhen you get a minute will you have a look at yours and see if it is dry as the dealers want£110 for a new rocker cover!!

Thats an oil vapour breather pipe, 100% normal to have oil in Andy :) You can block off the intake pipe end and feed the rocker cover pipe end to a catchtank/atmosphere.

Cheers Dave :happy2: still having issues with the  white smoke at the mo :sad1:..thought it might be that..I had a new turbo on 2 years ago but it has only covered 6000 miles in that time,so it can't be that i hope!not sure now what to check next
