On the underside of a 1.6 JX. top side is clean. no oil round dipstick tube/engine joint no oil round oil filler/sump joint.

Oil all over the underside/passenger side of engine. Engine runs really well. Oil is clean. No water usage and no appreciable oil usage until, after thrashing up the motorway i suddenly get oil spots (it is sudden) all over the back of the van, the bottom of the silencer is coated in it and there isn't much left in the sump. I can only see the breather in the rocker box which runs to the air intake prior to the turbo, as it's a belt drive cam , is there a breather in the crank , if so where is it and were should it go?

Get the whole lot properly de-gunked and cleaned. Its a whole lot easier to find the source then.

It could be the oil feed pipe to the turbo, or the oil return pipe from the turbo to the sump.
As has been said, best to clean everything up first then have a good look

Oil feed pipe split just above the turbo connection.

Thanks to Chrisbeck then for the sound advice!

Absolutely I don't know what i would do without the helpful people on this site. sell it probably.

Just seen the pipe that came off it it snapped completely as it came off about 1 quarter was still attached. I'd never have made it to france.
