How much oil should there be in an inlet mainfold on a turbo diesel? I'm replacing the injectors on my 1997 133000 miles BMW 325tds and the mainfold looks like this:





Does this indicate a problem or is this normal for this sort/age of engine? Or could it just mean it's been over-filled with oil in the past? I'm rather suprised cause the car came with a FSH and the previous owner was very keen on the car and spent a fair bit of money keeping her in good health.
