    Hey guys,

    Just doing some general maintenance on my car when i found oil dumped out of the pipe from the air filter to the turbo. I'm not a car geek nor am i that knowledgeable (yet) but i am worried that it may bring up a problem in the future. This is after i cleaned some of the muck and oil off.

    Thanks in avant-ce.

    Definitely looks like an external leak, although a small amount of oil in the intake/turbo piping is normal (blow by from the turbo). The oil all over the outside definitely points to a leaking gasket or seal.
