Oil in air intake

Post by Mavtd »

I was giving the Maverick a once over today and notice oil inside the ducting from the air box going to the turbo (TD42 with Garrett Turbo).

The oil was sitting on the lip going into the intake of the turbo, and there would've been about a teaspoon's worth.

Does this sound like something I should be worried about ?

PS oil level (from dipstick) is fine and there's no other oil leaks / etc.
