Right so I bought the Disco, gave it a general service and found that oil was passing the cyclone breather, and depositing into the air intake. And thus oil was passing into the turbo impeller, I spent a good amount of time cleaning oil out of the turbo hoses, intercooler etc.
I assumed it was because the previous owner had been a bit generous topping up the oil, but have checked the hose today and the oil is breathing in again. (to the point of dripping a puddle from the hose) I know that this is not a good sign but to protect the turbo whilst I get the funds together to sort it would It be a good Idea to fit a bodged drop tank on the tube in question (was thinking a small coke bottle with a copper tube for an inlet/outlet)
Basically was wondering if anyone had tryed this solution and asking if its worth the time.
