Hello.

2004 1.9 dCI.100K miles. Engine oil leaking down back of the engine onto the CAT area, hence burning smell. It has just had new turbo and has a good service history. No other faults apparent.
Can't confirm if the intercooler was cleaned/serviced.
Could a pipe have been incorrectly refitted?

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum.:)

It does sound like either the oil feed pipe to the turbo or the oil return pipe from the turbo to the sump are leaking.If it was a garage that fitted the replacement turbo I'd get it back to them so they can rectify their mistake.
