My timing cover leaks oil, not like that though. block is oily at the front where the timing cover joins up.

I also had a leak where my turbo oil drain pipe split near one of the top ribs, wasnt losing much oil but f*ck a little bit can make a big mess once the wind under the car catches it!

Yeah mate I totally agree with whats been said several times.

Timing cover on these cars turbo or NA are renoun for severe oil leaks at the timing cover. I had mine off twice to reseal it.

And yea the oil return to the sump.

. They leak pretty nastily too.

But just to confuse u a little more... If the pcv was blocked your rocker cover would be pouring out and thrre would be a bit of oil in the throttle body and in the pipes to the turbo.. In which case... Redo your gaskets cos they will be rooted now. But as said above wash ir and check it daily... My money still.is.on timing cover.
