Oil film.........

[geonc]

Got a slight film of oil on the valley and inner sides of the heads/
intake mflds.

Doesn't seem to be clean around the pedastal---which would show the orign---- just an all over misting that has attracted some road grime.

My old IDI I would just ****** it off and not worry but this is my first PSD and have heard horror storys regarding douching.

What do you guys use to clean the valley area and where should I look for this annoying mist

Check the base of the turbo for leaking o-rings. On the intercooled models the intercooler boots will also leak. You could also check the fuel filter housing, It is also in the valley and could be leaking fuel

As for cleaning the engine valley and under the turbo I have used a shop rag tied to the end of a long screwdriver to get oil out of the impossible to get to areas

So a ****** is "verboden"?
Doesn't seem to be coming from the pedastal, and I'm not intercooled..............YET!

Gonna check the fuel canister .........get a faint wiff of hot diesel every now and again.

Thanx!

Try checking the fuel filter lid/seal. I have had them seap a little causing a big mess.

This is not true, I use a garden hose often to ****** the valley of no return.
