I could be wrong (Don't really play with Engines) but it could be part of air intake system, have you got a zoomed out Picture?

Returned from the garage and they only charged me £20 for cleaning and re-greasing the gasket on what turned out to be a turbo Intercooler pipe. They advised that if it still leaks oil then I would have to go back to have the pipe replaced as they didn't think you can just buy the gasket/o-ring. Anyway, I was over in Chester and popped into the local VX dealership who tell me that yes, you can buy just the gasket/o-ring and its £2.50 so this seems my worse case scenario, phew.

The gasket has started leaking again and so a trip to VX in Northwich was needed today to order a gasket. After deliberation on their parts computer with technical drawings of the engine parts, it appears that you can't buy just the gasket and so I've had to buy the whole Intercooler pipe for £109. Ouch!
I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow and get it fitted, looks a doddle actually with just a large circlip holding it on at either end.

Hi bud
Yes it solved the problem, seemed expensive but it was annoying the hell out of me and solved it instantly.
