hello,I am new member. please can anyone advise I have an engine oil leak which is a bit of a mystery on my Omega 2.2 facelift diesel 2001 model.cant see any rocker cover leaks but it seems to be on left side of engine and is getting into alternator.is there a valve between rocker cover and turbo which gets blocked ? or perhaps a pipe.
cheers

sounds like the same as mine,, traced it down to the turbo, either the unit itself or the oil feed pipes, after coming off motorway there is blue smoke coming thru the side of the bonnet,, not loads but enough, i`ve bought a 2nd hand unit and should be fitting it soon along with the pipes, sorry i cant be more help

i have this probem too.. exactly under the turbo there is oil.. i will go to a mechanic and check all the seals and o rings there.

i tooked another look today and the turbo is clean.. under it is the leak, i don't know where but the alternator is full of oil and now it started to get on the oil bath and ac compressor

Hi I had this problem, where the top of the alternator gets covered in oil. Have a careful look at the Air Mass Meter  to turbo inlet hose .  You may well find a drip of oil on the underside, where the smaller pipe junction (rocker box breather?) enters this main hose. Straightforward to remove and examine,
I found that the smaller junction pipe seal had failed to the main pipe and allowed regular but small amounts of oil to escape. This junction was actually loose. It  was also loose on the new  GM replacement as well!) Changing it fixed the problem completely. About £13.00 from dealer, but has to come from Germany, no trouble though 2-3 days to arrive- Best of luck!

Hi Boditza
Happy to take some piccys  over next day or so, but just put a clean finger under this joint in the hose and touch the bottom of the hose at the joint. If you end up with an oily finger the hose is your culprit! As far as I remember, the alternator is well in front of the turbo and lower, so oil on top of alternator  more or less, has to be from something above it.

i am sure that if i would have known english in technical terms that wouldn't have been a problem but i am from romania and the only english i know is that learned from school and its not so technical, thats why i wanted pictures. hope you don't mind me asking

still w8ing for the mail .. that oil is driving me crazy and its all over the engine

[Boditza]

i have found that that wasn't my prob.. aparently the oil pipes that go to the turbine have a leak or something.. has anyone ever had this problem? how much will they cost me?
