Greetings from finland.
I have been reading about theese vacuum pumps failing, does it look like this? Brakes work just fine. Just to be curious... http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1617/02052010053.jpg http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/548/02052010052.jpg It is definently engine oil. There is a spray comming somwhere. I had the car towed this morning, just to be shure. http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/8531/03052010057.jpg |

I'm afraid that I cannot wave with 2 hands without the risk of loss the control of the car. (just a joke, I have 2 replaced) Cheers Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo"  Click image to enlarge |

Yup - that's definitely it. Good reference photos for others who are worried. No need to be towed (it doesn't really affect the performance of the brakes) but good to get it fixed.  One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

I drove from the Okovango Delta all the way to Windhoek (1000 km's) with mine spewing oil but it only made a big mess and the oil level drop was negligible.
I still have oil seeping out of my bonnet internals onto my wing tops.  |

Nice, the dealer has not had the time to look at it yet, but hopefully will later this week.
It still is under warranty but i allways get the shivers when something goes wrong with theese things. I want to have a proper summer vacation this year and big bills dont fit the picture... 
But the road assistance was great. Within 30 minutes i had the car towed and driving a Nissan Qashqaijhbhjtf(whatever). I was positively supriced. Thanks for your info guys n girls. |

And yes until this day besides the clutch to I had had nobody concerns, 20 days after the end of the guarantee 68000 km of the oil in all the driving compartment, I think that it is the vacuum pump, and one furthermore
