Hi,

I had a leak on the feed pipe to the EGR, it required a new gasket.

Whilst repairing this issue I noticed, oil in the intake pipe (after what I believe is the PCV); also in the pipe going into the intake manifold and inside the EGR.

At there was enough oil, so that when the EGR was removed it poured out; not a massive amount but enough to create a small puddle 100x100mm.

See pics.

Please can someone explain where this oil is coming from? I believe the PCV.

And; what can I do or am I in big trouble?

NOTE: there is nothing coming out the exhaust, like blue smoke.
