Hi,everybody!On my 05 Sprinter with 468k on clock,I find oil leak from under injector plastic cover.I have few pictures to better explanation.
First think-injector leak,but...
After removing plastic,I find the leak from under big plastic thing(For air re-circulation,looks like) and oil under it leaking on exhaust manifold.
Inside I find the small filter clogged with gunk.
I just clean it up (let it sit in regular fuel for few hours,then blast it by compressed air) and set everything back.
My question : I could not find in any part# for that filter in any part locator catalog.And second question:anybody now how much oil can to be there and why?
I want to add: almost no oil consumption between oil changes is observed.
Any ideas,advise.Thanks!

That's for blowby oil knockout. Oil that is collected drains back to engine. Oil that escapes goes with blowby gases to turbo inlet.
