Excessive blowby?
I was reading a post from a new member who was interested in buying a older MB diesel, and someone mentioned that there was alot of oil on the valve cover-possibly caused by blowby. I said to myself, I have a little oil on my valve cover, and when I took off the rubber intake last week I noticed oil inside and sitting on the lip of the turbo. Not soaked, but there. So I took a video of the motor running, and if anybody can tell me if it looks excessive, feel free to say so. The car doesn't use oil, like I have to constantly check it. It smokes a little when I start it up when cold, but it smells like fuel. After it's warm, no smoke on start. Tell me what you think.

You've got no blowby to speak of.

I don't think blowby would result in oil outside the VC. Probably just an oil cap gasket...

If the smoke comes out the oil filler like a steam train or when you have the breather off & it comes out like a steam hose, then you have blow by. Your not there yet by a long shot, best just enjoy driving your car.
