Check your CAC tube, this is the Black tube that goes from the intercooler to the manifold,, Where it joins the manifold elbow they pull back a little and can blow oil out(see my Pic in my gallery) Also check the clamps at the tubes on the turbo as they will leak as well. just tighting them will sometimes fix the problem but removeing them and cleaning the oil off first is best. The other possability is the oil filter cap can be leaking or was never wiped off after a oil change,, Just some possabilities. Mine was leaking from the intercooler tube where it connects to the intercooler. I removed the tube, cleaned the tube, intercooler connection and manifold elbow with Brake cleaner, reassembled and no more leaks,, hope this helps

sbv45, not just the oil leak but also the low idle miss that only happens after puttsing around town or in stop and go traffic, and this is only once in the while not all the time, dealer could never duplicate.

My buddy at work has this same leak. Oil under the hood and it even sprays the windshield. He's had the filter housing replaced and it's still leaking. About the CAC tube: how can oil blow through this? Shouldn't this just be full of air?
