Oil Mist Air Inlet Hose
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2011 8:51 pm
Hi
Had a smell of oil from the engine earlier, lifted the seats and found a light mist of oil on the air inlet hose. I trawled the forum and found a picture that widdowson2008 (thanks) posted on this thread (see http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... il#p375110)
Widdowson2008 Picture is below and he knows about the power steering fluid
- I've tightened the clamp on the hose from the inter-cooler and and swapped the 5mm (EGR?) pipe around but my question is, why was there oil misting out? what's the source for the oil - is it via the turbo? Is there a crankcase vent feeding in. Also, does the small pipe lead to the EGR? I blanked my EGR off years ago.
Any advice appreciated.
