16v oil problem
« on: 01 November 2009, 19:00 »
16v GTi on a P plate.

Its been stood for 7 months as a none runner - i got it running(immobiliser fault) took it for a blast and there is oil in the air filter housing(quite a lot) and its dripping out the intake behind the horn(under front splitter). I cleaned it all out but i was just wondering is this a sign of engine being knackered or something??? Or is it nothing to worry about.

Thanks all

It appears to have come through the valve at the top that leads to the air pipe from where the engine says"D O H C". If that makes sense.
