Hi just bought my first 4wd diesel. Nissan mistral td27. Can anyone help me as I dint know much about diesels. I'v
e noticed on the pipe on top of the engine where it says turbo is leaking some oil.nothing major but is it something I should be concerned about?Exhaust is not overly Smokey, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

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

im pretty sure all the ones ive worked on have rattled when idling (im a mechanic ) the oil is common as muck I wouldn't worry too much mate pm me for any other shit lol
