Hey up guys just bought a mk2 06 plate tdi 2.0 with a hybrid turbo and a map
They is a few drips of oil dripping from the front Intercooler hoses.
And wondering why. Can any body shed some light
It doesn't smoke at all even under hard boost but drips oil from the pipes

Oil in intercooler/pipes means a leak somewhere, possibly turbo seals. Also if oil can get out in a big wsy then you will be loosing boost.
Take off the pipes and make sure the cooler isnt full of oil as it can get dragged into the turbo and cause it to rev into destruction.

The turbo is a new hybrid. if the turbo seals where shot it would smoke at min
But they nothing like that. Its a strong pull with no smoke at all.
