I have a Peugeot with a 1.9 non turbo diesel engine (D9B). Oil breather pipe
has been replaced but I still am getting oil collecting round the injectors.
Not a lot and the problem went away for a period (approx 300 miles) when I
cleaned around that area with gunk.

I have changed the engine oil recently but the discharged stuff is
discoloured - ie old. Any ideas anyone

TIA

Rocker cover gasket?

thanks for the reply

Not the gasket. I'll try the gunk approach again.
Don't know how long it had a spray of oil from the breather
pipe.
Not familiar with diesel engines!
