Reading that string of notes on the oil seperator kit rang true for me. - It'd explain the oil weaping from the high pressure side of the turbo over the top of the engine. I was previosly thinking the turbo bearing.

I fitted a seperator / catch bottle (care of a 1L tupperware bottle and some 3/8 heater hose). Anyway, it caught nothing around town, but around 150ml over 800km's on the highway.

I'll probably live with it rather than setting up a permanent seperator.

I found when I orignally started looking into this that yes around town nothing much happened in thw way of weeping, but when on the open road the leaks started occuring. I assume it's related to the turbo working. Around town (50km/h) the turbo is really doing nothing.
