Hi
Have a oil leak from cylinder head ventilation system. https://goo.gl/images/Kt2Bgy" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; hopefully this link will show it. It's coming from the parts numbered 8/9. It is situated just below oil filter. Wondered if any other AAZ owners had suffered same problem.

I had the same leak. Replaced the gasket and elbow and been alright since. Think it had just distorted with age.

Is that a plastic one? On my 1Y it was and it was disintegrating when I got the engine so I just made a metal elbow for it.

Hi
Thanks for replies, good to see it's repairable. Had a few horrible thoughts when I got out of van and saw the mess it had made on the road and back of van!

Hi
update on the oil leak, turns out it was the turbo oil feed pipe, which was leaking from the union and dropping down onto the area I thought leak was. all sorted now.
