Hello All,
Was getting around to changing my air filter on my 05 B5.5, probably first time ever changed. Was dirty but not as bad as some, with minor deformation of the pleats.
When pulling off the intake hose to have a look at the turbo I notice oil inside the tube which appeared to be coming from the (CCV?) tube that runs off the plastic valve cover over top the engine.
So I pulled off the plastic cosmetic/accoustic cover from on top of the engine and notice oil around the edge of the tube and some oil that looked like it was leaking from the passenger side of the valve cover.
Not sure if the valve cover is leaking or if it was from the breather tube, or maybe some residue from the last oil fill?
I checked the engine oil, which was halfway down the checkered space (1/4 quart low?). Oil was changed 3k miles ago.
So is that normal?
Car has 47,500 miles, has an EGR delete, and a BW43A turbo on it, that in the past has given me limp mode from a poorly adjusted actuator. It actually just did it again on a 300 mile trip and I was considering adjusting it a quarter turn but want to rule out possibility of pressure issues causing oil leak.
