Air filter is new and have got a replacement fuel and oil filters to be
changed this weekend.

The oil from the manifold is being cause by air pressure forcing the excess oil
(that shouldn't be there) out between the gaskett. Not a lot of oil but noticible...

Why shouldnt it be there?
As I said breather will deposit oil in tract. A long hot trip will make the seepage from pressurised gaskets look messy.

Im only trying to be positive from my own experiences.

I hear what your saying Bazzle. Its just that it seems to be seeping all the time, not just on long trips? Possibly the gasketts are worn or not installed correctly? I was told that there really shouldn't be that much oil in the intake manifold anyways? Was told that the oil could possibly be getting past a seal in the turbo or if the rings are worn, getting through there? Hopefully not the later...

Cheers!
