Hello all,
I have a problem you I am sure will be able to help me with,

I have a whistle similar to the one you get with a split pipe,
but I can't find any holes anywhere,
I do have on the EGR 90 deg pipe have an amount of oil,
but its not from there its coming from below I believe,
the reason I think this is that
there are a few spatters on the right side of the engine as
you look at the engine in the picture below..

So the question is what is below this point that carries Oil???

Thanks for all your advise
 
Could it be coming from the "S" shape turbo hose that is just below the 90 degree pipe.

I suppose it could be coming from that one under pressure,
and not showing up as easily with just a visual look, I will
have a look see tomorrow to see is there are any signs of
pin holes or just oil on that pipe,

Smoke pro it......

Never heard of this before looks great,,Thanks..
 
just make sure you have tightend the clips on the elbow turbo hose, also oil like substance on these hoses means that they are leeking and due for replacement,
 
Mine makes a slight whistling when I accelerate but then goes away.ive only noticed it recently and I've changed the 3 top hoses recently and they have some oil in but thought this was normal?
 
OK update so far,

Had a good look around today and there is a mass of jubilee clips everywhere,
so I tightened as many as I could see, and I also noticed that the 4 EGR bolts
were a little loose, this is possibly the point of the oil leak,
I will in time replace all the current pipes and clips with Silicone and the T clips,
but for now I seem to have stopped any leaks,,

I have an issue with something else completely unrelated, but will start a new
thread when I am able to work out what the problem is and the noise its making..

I suppose thats what happens when you do nearly 400 miles in one day it shows up
any and all weaknesses..

Thanks for all your suggestions...
