I suspect you are talking about fumes from the CCV beneath the injector covering. The cover traps those vapors that escapes the valve.

You've got lots of oil choices in Europe; is much more difficult to find an oil specifically on the approved list here.

I previously used Mobil 0w40 Euro Blend in mine until Mobil changed around all thier labels a few months ago. Am using Shell Rottela T 5w40 Syn currently.

Search here for the approved oil list. MB229.5 and rememebr you need a min of CG4/CH4 desiel rating. I think they are up to CI4 now. You of course need a full syn oil too.
