I seem to have a minor oil leak from my turbo to the intake. The hose to the intercooler is partially coated now. It was fairly clean and orange inside until recently thanks to the EHM. The coating is dried out and sticky and this makes me think it may have leaked for a time and quit. This brings up a few questions.

1. How much leakage constitutes a problem? I am not noticing increased oil consumption - yet.

2. Is air filter restriction a likely cause? I change the air filter regularly and have been using Wix. I still have the stock CRD intake, so a wet air filter is a real possibility.

3. If I were to seek warranty satisfaction, how could I prove that the oil is not from the "normal" crankcase vent oil?

4. What type of seal does a turbo use anyway? Spring loaded ceramic or ?
