E220CDI
Hi, I took my car to the dealer to look at an apparent oil leak from the big pipe attached to the turbo on my E220CDI. The dealer advised it's not a leak and they just wiped off the oil! Apparently it's 'misting' and this is entirely normal where the hoses join on to the turbo. (It's on the left front of the engine as you look at it with the bonnet up!). Can anyone else corroborate this finding, it's just a bit of a worry as I don't want to pay for it if I can get it done under warranty.

Cheers

Sam
 
Most cars have a little oil mist in the inlet ducting. It's normal.
 
Thanks Dieselman... I will relax now...
