[Mk2] [Turbo] lumpy idle and oil leak help

[jdbecks]

hey all,

last night my car was not boosting right, i was adjusting the ebc and nothing was happening, then i relised it was on low boost settings switched back to high and forgot i adjusted the high settings, boosted and the car check engine light came on,

the car is running a bit lumpy on idle, drives fine and boosts well, it dont over heat, but noticed oil on the exhaust manifold and dripping on the downpipe, the car dont over heat and theres no smoke on idle or boost, just smoke from the oil burning on the dp,

I'm about to do a compression check, anyone got any ideas??

no fault codes either, the engine seems to idle fine, and at a steady 750 but the exhaust sounds lumpy

You checked obvious things like you havent spilt oil there or anything?

Mine has a small leak from the bottom of the cam cover- you can see it from underneath. See here

Ignition problem? Especially if plugs have been going in and out?

the oil smoke is coming out the vents when driving, its coming somewhere from back of the engine thats dripping on the dp

if you can clean all the oil away and run it on a ramp you should be able to see after some time.

it sounds like the oil feed to the turbo is leaking.
