E90 330d Oil leak at boost hose

[tumzozo]

I removed the intercooler yesterday to clean it up and notice the boost pipe is leaking oil and a bit loose. I quickly goggled and I notice it's a common issue which affect consumption http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=281232&highlight=oil+leak+330d . I like to know if anyone has experienced this issue.

I will put up picture of the culprit.

Every bmw diesel i have worked on has had this issue with the boost pipe on the turbo side. Clean it up nicely and make sure the seals on either end are secure when fitting monitor it and if it continues to build up residue /oil on the outside then either replace the o-rings or the complete boost pipe

Oh while you are in there you may as well remove the intercooler and the cold side boost pipe and give everything a nice clean
