Oil residue around injector

Featured Replies

has anyone experienced oil trace around 1 or more injectors in their 1.6 tdi? 77k miles.

it's only a little bit as if a mist of oil deposited with dust. It's more obvious at the back of the injector. I did clean it about a month ago and the trace it's back. Why is this happening? how can i fix this?  thanks.

I'm tempted to say leave well alone. Looks like a slight misting.

I'll act like I didn't see anything. Truth is I don't notice any difference with the car.

I think that the only issue can end up being when, in many years/miles someone wants/needs to get these injector out of that head - and they have seized when that very slight leak turns into something a bit more solid and carbon like?  That is when the specialist "injector removal companies/tools" come into their own?
