Oil spots on rear of the van.. - Pete - 13-06-2012
Why have these just started to appear?

The back doors are covered in them! Seems to be running OK barring the leaky sump plug.
Cheers peeps, Have a picture of a kitten as thanks in advance.

i also have this, what's the cause :/

i suppose it could probably be turbo oil seals,slightly leaking, when my turbo actually blew it coated the back of it in oil, all up the rear windscreen

Would make sense for it to be the turbo, when mowles went the whole rear of the car was coated

If the sump plug is leaking slightly then it will be getting under the cat/van and being pulled onto the back of the van by the draught, have a look underneath, if its coated in oil then you have your answer

Thats why I was glad my cat was hanging off when the turbo seal blew.....meant the oil all fell out there instead of all up my boot.

i had this problem when i temp put the oil breather straight the air intake pipes to the turbo covered the back in oil spots led me to believe turbo was dead but sorted it once oil breather was rerouted

Cheers guys, To be fair at the moment theres more oil under the engine than in it
So thats the probably the reason. Hope so anyway, can't afford any shiney new turbos right now!

Mine was like that when i had leaky driveshaft seals, car was caked with oil underneath

I would say that its probably that then, when you clean everything up underneath clean the spots off the back too and see if they come back
