I'm not sure if this is normal or not but the turbo on my ZD30 CRD 07 MODEL is leaking oil. Its not dripping but I just want some feedback, I'm new to the turbo diesel scene.

Cheers

x2 with boots. GIves us a better indication as to weep, residue, leak, pouring out etc.
There are a few areas it can potentially leak.
Pics please

May be a leak or alot of oil build up due to blow by.
Id be cleaning your intercooler etc give the whole area a clean up and go from there

Any suggestions on how best to clean the intercooler? Because it looks like there is a bit of oil weeping from the inlet hose.

Would be a great idea to remove your intake hoses off to inspect for oil residue . kerosene is a great solvent for the task to clean your IC . May need to clean your MAF and fit a provent filter if the residue is bad . I would degrease the area to ensure its as clean as can be, then driving and periodically inspecting the turbo to see for leaks .
