Hi Guys. Iv just bought a 57 plate 1.6hdi berlingo van and its very nice and works well!
That being said, I was checking the oil today and noticed that most of the pipes and bonnet near to the timing belt had a thick black oil build up, some oviously quite new. The only thing I can see that's not right is the dipstick tube/housing comes loose when you pull the dipstick. Effectively coming with it. Could this being loose cause the oil spray around the pipes? I'm not engine savvy so I'm not sure. I odont want to take it to a garage and be ripped off if its a simple fix!
Thanks in advance! Ian
