Probably not, since I can't complain about fuel consumption nor performance. But I did read up a bit to see if I should be worried about oil in the intake. Everybody at my local Peugeot forum says that's typical of HDi engines, but I am contemplating adding a small jar to separate the oil from the air, to see how much it actually is. No low oil problems, though, so I guess I shouldn't worry. I do get a boost pressure sensor failure code while pulsing on long trips which may be caused by oil clogging that sensor for a moment (in my case it is after the turbo and intercooler, I see a lot of oil spilling out of the ducting).

That is standard procedure in today's engines, though Wikipedia claims that most modern diesels vent to the outside atmosphere. Not the case with PSA's diesels. Here's a picture of my intake:

This is after the air filter and air mass/temperature sensor but before the turbo. Under the round cap on top of the engine is a rubber membrane which is supposed to hold oil back. Some claim that a bit of oil in the intake air is OK since it lubricates the turbo, but has been know to cause caking on the turbo's blades if the engine is killed while hot (this was a problem with PSA's 1.9TD, but not with newer HDi's).
