That totally makes sense Jeff! I wondered what that was for. One section of mine was gone and the other deteriorated, so I took it off. Maybe a new insullated tube would help. hmmm indeed

Guys, relax. If your oil consumption is fairly low (a good OM60x engine uses a quart or less in 4-5kmi)... forget about the tiny bit of oil in the intake. You may want to replace the intake gaskets with the OE type, which have a metal core, and are reusable several times (the cheap aftermarket gaskets are plain paper and usually can't be re-used). A bit of Hylomar on them doesn't hurt either. This should reduce the "sweating" effect. I saw a TSB once on this topic and it stated that a small amount of oil in the intake manifold was normal, and not cause for any warranty repairs. Sadly I did not print/save it at the time, and I have never been able to find it since then.
The root cause is one of two things - either oil from the turbocharger seal, or oil from the PCV system (or both). Again, if your oil consumption is minimal, there's nothing to worry about. If you vent the PCV to the atmosphere, you'll smell it inside the car when sitting at stoplights. BT, DT. I've considered trying the racing style of PCV evacuation where a tube is plumbed into the exhaust with a backflow valve, this scavenges the vapors out the exhaust (see the Moroso 25900). Still haven't tried it though.

yeah... I don't lose more than 1/2 quart in 7500miles... I'm not worried about the oil being there, I just gotta fix the gaskets leaking it onto my pretty motor!
I've also gotta pull theintake anyway, to tank the egr crud for cleanliness!

Yes, the Exhaust Gunk Recirculation system tends to make a mess of intakes.
