oil on drivers side of engine???
I'm starting to get some oil on the drivers side of the engine bay. It gets on the headlight door when it's up. Maybe turbo blowby leaking out of a intercooler tube? Ideas?

Could be blow by, or an oil leak from one of the oil fittings on the turbo itself. There is not a lot on that side of the motor that can make a mess.
Clean out the intercooler tubes, intercooler (if you can), and clean up the area very well. Check it daily to see if you can track the source of the leak.

A/c is discharged (bad hose). No it's a little everywhere from the airbox over and it's leaking from that side.not too much but enough to **** me off. I just haven't had time to check it out. My boss (grandpa) had surgery this week so I've been running our garage by myself. Our other mechanic just had a tumor removed and should hopefully be back this week. It has been a very long and stressfull week! Pretty bad when the mechasnic doesn't heave time to work on his own car. Ohh well! thanks again guys! Everyone on here is very helpfull and I appreciate that!
