Oil leak



  NX10WCE
Would this just be a simple pipe change? Its coming from the small rubber pipe on the left .

Im guessing that its a diesel as you havent specified what car it is.

Its pretty normal to see a bit of oil leakage out of the breather pipes when the engines getting on/starting to breathe a bit as they are push fit/poor fit usually.

Wouldnt worry about it if its not using loads of oil and no blue smoke out the exhaust, brake cleaner and wipe it off. Dirty diesel usually mist of oil somewhere.
