  1. That bit of sponge is a standard feature on these the oil can leak from the engine rear crank seal or past the front seal on the gearbox imput shaft .

    youll smell the difference between eng oil and trans oil , if carefull remove the sponge and the tin plate in the front get a torch look up behind the flywheel for oil and back to the bellhousing brake cleaner squirted in the suss area to remove excess oil try not to get it on the clutch

     check your gearbox level  clean it up hopefully you can get through rego

  2. Hi Yes a mechanic with diagnostis  gear can read the values of injectors ,lots of sensors ,fuel pressures ,actual and target press  ,check SCV valve can be at fault . And yes get rid of the catch can  

     

  3. Way i see it a catch can collects maybe 100ml between service ,if youve got a plate with a 7mm hole you still get a certain amount of hot raw abrasive carbon passing through a bit of misty oil collects that stopping it going back to the inlet ,Ive just done injectors no1 cacked itself, pulled the EGR off ,wiped a fine layer of collected carbon/oil mix ive got a plate no, catch can thats after 85k of driving do around 40k odd  per year and if nothing at all it acts as a upper cyl lubricant  so catch cans in my eyes are a waste of$$$$$$$$$
