Oil Leak - Help

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Octavia 1.2tsi 2013.

I noticed the oil was sitting half full. No unusual smoke from the back so could be within tolerance for ‘normal’ consumption.

I decided to take a look and everywhere looks dry apart from the pictures below.

Not sure if anyone can identify the part that seems to be leaking, seems to connect to part of the air intake, which seems weird. If that’s the case, why so much oil?

Its bolted to the turbo that much is clear.

Either the diverter or wastegate actuator. There is definitely oil around but it's clearly coming from above, so is it definitely this part? Or something else above?

Need to look from top / photo from top for a different view.

After that, if unsure, clean it all up and go for a drive and re-inspect.
