Possible seal leak of the turbo, not overly expensive to fix.
Sweet, will do that as soon as i get a chance, cheers mateQuote:

How'd you go with this mate?
Attachment 73306Had a good look today and it sorta looks like its coming from the actuator. Not 100% sure.Quote:

Yeah it's hard to tell mate, any news today?
If your not seeing any noticeable leaks from the oil feed or oil drain then likely a seal gone.
If it is coming out of your actuator then most likely seal on turbo but let us know any updates.
Does your oil breather from the rocker cover go back through the intake system?
Would be interested to see if you have oil on the intake side of turbo. Take off the pipe from airbox to turbo and inspect.
Could be something else if its coming out of actuator but lets not go there yet!
Had a look today and looks like its leaking out of the bottom of the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler. May just need a catch can. Ive been meaning to have a look through all the piping for oil and have a look inside the turbo, just havent got around to it yet. And yeah the oil breather runs into the intake pipe.
