Which D3 engine is this? The VEA engines seem to have leakage issues.

Hi Clan, I’ve seen this on a few of the 5-cylinder engines - on mine I just spray some degreaser and give the area a wipe every few months. I assumed it was designed like this and part of normal operation?

no it's not normal it should be sealed , a small 7 mm wide good quality hose clip around the loose plastic breather pipe will reduce the leak to almost nothing ... don't tighten the clip too much , just enough to make it firm ..

found potential culprit - oil leak V60 2014
thanks all, removed the engine cover and the leak seems to come from the connection (1) rather than (2) circled on the image, have tightened up the clip (1) not sure if it was firm enough, otherwise will extrapolate as per above advice from forum experts
have a top day all Photo Screen Shot 12-09-19 at 11.36 AM.jpg the engine is D3 2.0 Diesel 2014 - 5 cylinders |

My 2014 XC60 D5 has exactly the same "leak", tightened/replaced the clamps which partially fixed it but now just give it a quick wipe over once a month as it still does it a tiny amount.
Weird thing is, with the clamps removed its really difficult to disconnect the pipes, they rotate round easily enough but getting them off seemed to require more force than I was happy to apply. |
