Whats My Oil Leak?

[PeterMoon]

Hi,i have this leak on my 2003 1.9tdi diesel engine and am not familiar with the engines.it seems to be from the right angled thick hose.Im experiencing over revving on start up and occasionally seems to loose power as if turbo not working? Any feedback greatfull,cheers Pete

Over revving and oil leak suggests the turbo has failed mate. I'd get it looked at asap and get the turbo replaced before it blows and throwsee debris into the engine clogging the pick up and the oil pumps.

 

Another tell tale sign is oil in the exhaust tail but the car mm exhaust might be too long for this to show unless it's gone big style

Also check the egr isn't clogged with soot as that can cause power loss, although I wouldn't expect oil from this problem,so again pointing to failing turbo clogging the egr with oil and soot mixture Edited December 9, 2016 by Az2102

That looks like oil coming through the induction system, either crank-case blow by, or from round the spindle seal on the inlet side of the turbo.
