It's o.k. thats normal. The small rubber hose is the engine breather and contains oil vapour when the engine is running and the oil vapour is redirected back into the intake/Turbo. I've disconnected mine and replaced the pipe with a breather filter, it's cut down the smoke thats chucked out the exhaust too.

On a similar subject ,Iv'e noticed a lot of oil deposits(Leak?) around the turbo pipe where It goes into the throttle housing, looks like maybe a gasket?

But anyone enlighten me as to why there is oil present in that area anyway!


Is there a breather pipe or is It some thing more ominous?

Normally caused by the breather pipe from the rocker cover.
Pull it off with the engine running to see the oil vapour blowing out.

Yeah I noticed some discolouration around the breather where It goes into the head as well!
