Oil in air intake

Hello there looking for some tips before it gets expansive. My 2008 hst has started leaking oil from what I think is the air intake, which was held on with tie wrapps I changed this to a jubilee clip and stopped the leak. ..But is there supposed to have oil in the in the first place....
Car seems to be running fine no problems YET....

there will be some as long as level on stick doesnt drop

That's great news will keep an eye on the oil level.. .Cheers was really worried it can be a mined field and scary looking for information when ur not to clued up on engines..

It will be intercooler misting oil, I am presuming it is a diesel, if so they all do it, when you have time remove the pipe work from the air filter box working your way backwards to the pipe going down to the turbo, disconnect it where I think you have changed the cable ties for a jubilee clip. clean all the pipes out and any hoses, wipe up clean where it as leaked the refit all secure everything should be ok.

That's exactly what I done so feel good and the step by step pics you put up are fantastic thanks.

Hi guys, hope you don't mind me asking on your thread, but saves me making a new one for what I hope is the same problem!

Ive got a 2007 FL2 HSE with a 132,000 miles on the clock. Engine Management light is up with "Reduced Engine Performance" occasionally kicking in. I can hear my turbo dumping pressure under strain and also her it whistling when I dip the cutch between 1st and 2nd. (sounds cool!! but ive never heard it before so assuming something aint right!!) I've put a diagnostics on the car and it came back with boost senor A, MAF sensor and an exhaust sensor... I've been trawling the internet and also getting in there and poking around. (by no means a mechanic, its worth pointing out!!) I did however find a substantial split in the air intake pipe. It was pushing air out of this split when the engine was revved, creating the turbo dumping noise I heard! sooo as a temp fix I wrapped a whole roll of electrical insulation tape around it and it seems to have stopped the dump noise... BUT not the whistling... the scary thing is I found a puddle of oil in that air intake pipe. I'm hoping its from the oil separator on the breather pipe and perhaps I've found it soon enough, and that my turbo isn't damaged!? Of course the alternative is the seals on the turbo gone??? Basically guys I'm a bit out my depth now and need pointing in the right direction... what do you guys think?

I should also say that I'm no expert, but I'd have thought if you have obvious problems like splits in the induction hoses, then replace the hoses and take it from there. There is a considerable amount of pressure put on those hoses by the turbo, so they need to be in good condition. Once they are sorted, then see how it goes. There will always be some oil residue found in those hoses, so its probably OK - if you start seeing smoke out the exhaust or your oil level is going down, then it will be worth investigating further (and quickly), but if all is OK after replacing the hoses then I recon there's not much wrong.

I am more than prepared to be shot down in flames by those that know better though!

Thanks for your reply GrumpyGel. I will pop over to my local dismantler's in the week and see if i can get a good one. They seem quite hard to find online... unless I'm not looking in the right places!
