Hi
  Had the same problem with my 300tdi, turned out to be the turbo passing oil, take the intercooler hose off and see if there is any oil in it,
hope this helps.

just checked the hoses either side of the turbo.
cant see any oil to speak of  :D so i am hoping its only the manifold gasket  8)
but i did find that a hole was in the intake pipe that had been bodged with some mastik so i guess i should change this while i am at it  :roll:

cheers for advice welder  :)
