    Just noticed this, never seen it before, is it easy to remove the plastic cover that runs along the top of the HT leads. I think it may be coming from the pipe on the right.

              Are you sure you havent splashed oil there when checking the dip stick, or maybe put oily rag/tissue on there?

              Might be worth looking at the PCV pipe, take it off and check there is no damage to it and make sure it is refit securely, cant see that creating an oil patch such as what is there though?

                Leave the oil on and book it into your dealer pronto, would be my advice, even if out of warranty

                    I have had the pipe off as I was looking at the fittings for my OCC, maybe I spilt some last time I changed the oil and never noticed it.

                      That could be it, for the reason stated above.

                      Thanks.

                          If I could have helped you by knowing more than you already do I would have. You've mentioned before that you know engines. It's a bit of light-hearted THP banter, you practically sign up for it when you sign that dotted line

                          Haha behave, as above it's a bit of DS3 banter. I'd like to say I'm a pretty helpful member of the site. My inbox and email are inundated with members asking for help on various DS3 subjects daily. Not to mention the bombardment of FB messages I get from owners.

                          If you ever need anything give me a shout x

                              Other end into the air intake pipe is 25mm. So internal 25mm pipe/ connector needed

                              As for the Can outlet sizes, depends on the can purchased, but shouldnt be less than these ideally

                              Apols if you knew this already

                              I got mine from the same place as Cyclone but the sizes might be different

                              the OD of my adaptors are 19mm and 15mm.

                              Just checked and while the 19mm adaptor fits fine at the turbo end, the 15mm adaptor is slightly too small at the rocker cover end, it will work but not 100% snug (I may need to pack it with suitable sealant or tape.)
