    oil in exhuast pipe

    Hi Guys

    just fitted a dawes n needle valve and 3in scotts rods exhaust and have noticed a small amount of engine oil at the tip of the exhaust pipe enough oil to cause a drip.
    the car is a 3ltr auto tdi.
    should I be concerned about the turbo or wait till it all settles in ?

    thanks for your help

    Are you sure it's oil and not just exhaust carbon mixed with condensation? Oil in the exhaust is definatley something to worry about.
