Altea Tdi oil leak?

[rvdbarnes]

Hi all

Noticed a bit of an oil leak going on with my Altea 1.9 Tdi.
Ive attached a picture for info, any ideas where it could be coming from?
Sorry, not too familiar with this engine at all

the seal between the egr valve and inlet manifold.

Mine has done it for about 2 years now - it doesn't run or drip so I've left it.

Cheers for the heads up guys

Do we reckon its an expensive one at all to get sorted out?

DIY for something like that chap. There's loads on here about EGR removal etc to get it undone and replace the gasket.

its not a worry at all, if you can you can remove or replace it. But its not a oil leak to worry about generally as its only oil vapour.

Ive just fixed the same problem on my tolly, as MJ said the seal had gone between the inlet and EGR. Bought a delete kit from flebay and all is well

Any questions about DIY just ask me.
