I have a mk5 diesel 2.0 (140) gt tdi. 60k miles. Bought it 2 month ago,, full history. Have just took engine cover off for a nosey and have noticed oil is weeping out of the throttle body, all the way around at the top and if I look down into the engine block below the oil filter there is quite a bit of oil. Have had a mechanic look, he said - it is normal, not too bad, old car will pass a bit of oil through the turbo. He looked up the exhaust aswell. It runs fine, no excessive smoke. Anybody had this problem. The engine oil is a bit over the max mark, it was serviced before I got it. could this cause the problem?
