Oil leak on 1.2 16v

[James105]

My old 51 reg clio had this, and so does my new one (02 reg), only a little worse i think.
There must be a leak somewhere, as when i take the air box and filter off, there is a bit of oil inside, and the bottom of the filter is all oily. If you shine a light into the inlet through the air intake hole you can see oil in there.
What are people's suggested sources of this oil? Im sure when it had a service once they told me what it was, but cant remember now.

Thanks

mine does that too mate, had it on its first service @ 10k and had the same on the last service @ 30k. Nothing to worry about i dont think

Had to top my oil up the other day, would appear to be worse then it was. Does anyone actually know what/ where the oil leak is?

its not a leak, its just oil coming out of the breather

hmmm, yeah i guess. but its a lot of oil, and i need to top up every now and again with oil. And the inlet seems to have a lot of oil sat in it. surely that isn't right!?
