Hi guys have posted on Facebook page but thought I would post here as can track it and update.
Have a problem with a friends 5, it's chucking oil form breather pipe, I have now done cup breather mod and no change, it only does it on boost at idle it's fine but go round the road and have a puddle of oil out of breather pipe, I have checked the breathers are clear without car running but when I blew down the rocker pipe oil comes out of sump breather tube. I take it this is not normal. I will be doing a compression test this week as some have said piston rings. Have also heard the turbo return could cause this, and can hear a bubbling from turbo when engine off. Has anyone got anything else I could try. Thanks
