Hi,

I noticed a drop of oil on top of my engine cover and took it off to investigate. The tube entering into the intake manifold (?) has a good deal of oily residue around it. What is the cause and the fix? Thanks!

that is the hose from your intercooler to your intake. The routing goes from the turbo to the intercooler to the intake. Looks like you have an oil leak at your turbo and it is spewing oil into your intake. From what I see.... It could be something dripping on the connection but I doubt it. Looks more like oil wicking from the turbo to me. Take it to a good independent diesel shop or a dealer if its under warranty. The turbo is covered under the settlement but not the oil feed line.

Right on, thank you.

sorry PNW, I think you have an oil leak at the turbo. Whether it is the turbo or the turbo oil line I don't know.
