Exclamation

I have a very small bit of oil resting on the lip of my dump valve on the horn part. Is this normal for a very very small bit to be there.

Thanks

Question

Sounds Like You May Have Some Oil Passing Through The Turbo. Should Be O.K As Long As Its Only A Small Amount.
Check How Much Oil Is Passing Through By Removing One Of The Hoses To/From The Intercooler To The Throttle Body On The Intake Manifold, If Its Plastered You May Be Looking At a New Turbo,
If Only A Small Amount You Should Be O.k, But Worth keeping An Eye On

Have you had an oil change recently ? it might have been over filled and being pulled into the breather system, quite common and mostly harmless.
