2105 Astra Bi-Turbo Oil Leak.
Discussion
I can see about a dozen pipes in that pic, all of which are "curving towards the engine", none of which look like they "had a clamp on" but none of which is particularly closer enough to the camera to say which you are talking about.
Try and be a bit more specific & get the camera a lot closer so we can see to help.

Hi.
Started a thread yesterday but got nowhere.
My Astra Bi-Turbo has an oil leak coming from a pipe in my engine bay.
Didn’t want to take it to a mechanic until I knew a bit more.
In the photo I have attached it is the metal pipe that I have coloured red to highlight which one it is.
Can anyone tell me what the pipe is and what the cost of repairing an oil leak would be?
The leak is coming from where there is a join in the middle. Where the 2 bolts seem like they holding it together.
It’s a 2015 Astra Bi-Turbo 2.0L.
I can add more pics if required but it only lets me add one at a time.
Thanks.

Tyler,
You go to the doctor because they know how your bits and pieces are connected.
Same with an engine and a trained technician.
Be no more embarassed that you can't name that pipe to the technician than telling the doctor you are leaking somewhere! Many people are embarassed about naming their leaky bits!
You can trust a doctor, mostly, and you know where to find them. The problem is to find a well-trained technician who knows the anatomy of your car's engine. Best bet - and it's only a bet - is a dealer franchised to the marque of your car.
Good luck!

I haven't got any Vauxhall technicians in today but I will try and ask them again on Tuesday if you haven't sorted it by then,
That’s awesome mate.Just to give me an idea of the sort of costs involved. Don’t want to get fleeced because I don’t know what I’m talking about.
I bought the car from a main Vauxhall dealer 2 months ago so I’m thinking I could take it back there and get them to fix it for free. Pretty certain that I’ve got certain rights when buying a used car. I’ll do some digging on that but it’s very much appreciated your help.

Why not just take it there and ask for their opinion and comments? You will find out what it's called, how serious it is, and if it will be cured free or if not, how much. Then you have an informed position to make a choice from.Just to give me an idea of the sort of costs involved. Don’t want to get fleeced because I don’t know what I’m talking about.

But if it is the turbo feed (it looks like it) then it WILL cost more if you don't sort it soon?
That’s a close up of the leak.
Been doing some research and the place I bought it from is legally obliged to fix any problems within 6 months of purchase. Going to ring them on Tuesday and tell them to get it sorted.
Are we saying it’s definitely the oil feed pipe for the turbo? Just so I know what to tell them at the dealership.

Cheers mate. You’re the only normal response I’ve had. Everyone else are just being sarcastic idiots. Thanks again.
Perhaps next time you want help you should just go elsewhere?

I suggest you raise the issue and your concerns and discuss it with them.
Going in demanding a repair (that may not be needed) will be unlikely to achieve the best possible result. If you push and demand before having a sensible discussion is more likely for them to find any way out of it that they can. And believe it or not, there are reasons why they may not entertain your demands.
Why is it generally that people think the best approach is to demand, before discussing? Up until this issue have you had any cause to complain about the car, or the dealer?
