Hey mate, based in auckland. on my engine there's a bit of oil between the turbo and air intake (engine side). I don't think its anything major but was just wondering if anyone knows whats the cause and if theres anything i can do to stop it from happening. Also it seems to idle at about 600-700rpm which seems a little low because the car vibrates a lot at this rpm. Again this may be normal, im just not sure never owned a diesel before. Apart from that car seems to run fine. Any info would be much apreciated. Thanks
