Intake manifold weeping oil
I have an intake gasket on order and I have searched old posts, but I still don't have a handle on the oil weeping from the intake manifold. Is that excessive oil, stuck EGR, or normal? Will it cause harm? The cars runs great, 13 sec 0-60, 34 mpg, quiet and smooth (1993 300D 2.5T, 150,000), any ideas?

Probably a bad o-ring btw the EGR output and the IM.

Is it leaking from where the runners attach to the head or where the crossover pipe attaches to the intake manifold?

Its leaking oil where the runners attach to the head,just above the glowplugs.

I suppose you can fit a new gasket. If oil consumption is a quart or less in 4-5000 miles then there's no pressing need. If oil consumption is closer to a quart every 1000 miles then the gasket is the least of your problems.
