oil leak help!!!!
Hi lads, the c5 is leaking oil around the doser valve she is a 2.0hdi 8v ive tried numerous liquid gaskets, all the dosers I see on ebay have a green gasket but mine is black so i thought i'd be clever and buy a green OEM gasket which of course is 10mm bigger so is wider than the intake so chocolate screw driver territory, any way has anyone any suggestions to stop this leak as its making driving impossible when the blower is on and stinks the car out and im concerned of the obvious fire risks.

Re: oil leak help!!!!
A VIN would help Darren - there are loads of variants of Air Intake Throttle Valves. If it's the one I think, then that is part 1635 N1, available here:
1635 N1 Gasket, but would need to check for sure - post or PM your VIN and I'll check.

Re: oil leak help!!!!
Hi Marc,
I had a look at that link its a different shape i have however found a different type of elbow for the intake and it has stopped the oil leak. I now need to figure out if i can disconnect the electrovalve or do I block off the vacuum hoses I think the new elbow is off a 307 or a 406 but fits perfectly. It leaves the other issues to resolve fully any suggestions welcome.The Vin is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
