Fiesta losing oil and down on power

[MysterG]

Okay. Just popped to the shops, and on the return journey noticed the car was well down on power, would not pull.
2016 Fiesta Ecoboost ST Line 140bhp. 50K.
At home noticed oil on floor, chucking it down so can't see where from.
Under bonnet, oil in lots of places, including underside of bonnet.
Also a pipe was off (one in centre of pic) the black connector. Pipe really soft and loose on connector.
Put it back on and started the engine. Pipe immediately collapsed (as in picture) and could be felt pulsing.

Anyone know what this tube is? Whether it being disconnected could cause oil to go everywhere or has it possibly failed as a result of some other issue causing the oil leak?

Pleased don't tell me the engine has lunched itself big time

^^ Where does it go to?

From there down into the depths and beyond!

No engine management, low oil or oil pressure warning lights on dash when driving? How much oil is showing on the dipstick?

I've never worked on any ecoboost engine yet, but that looks like a vacuum pipe for the control system, which would explain the loss of power (I just checked the manual, and the turbo wastegate/recirculation is controlled via vacuum)

I can't ever remember seeing any vacuum pipe like that collapse in on itself, so I suspect it's been heated at some point.
I'd very much doubt it's directly connected to the oil leak, but without knowing where the oil has came from, it can't be ruled out.

There's oil splattered over the engine coolant pipes, and on other components, too. Has the car been serviced recently, and has the oil filler cap been properly replaced? If I remember correctly, the anti knock function requires the oil filler cap to be fitted correctly, else loss of power could occur. Can the turbo be heard to spin up and down as the accelerator is blipped when the car is poodling along at around 20 mph in, say, second gear?

My research has come up with the same sort of stuff, it is a vacuum pipe, connected to vacuum pump, and a solenoid (yellow thing) further down then on to wastegate???
Don't understand why the pipe is so soft, and ill fitting with no clip, but obviously if it's vacuum then the oil did not (should not have) come from there.

Not been serviced recently, was done in July at a guess.

No lights on dash.

Will check oil level when it's cooled and not chucking it down outside, likewise try and see where the oil is coming from, but with it everywhere that's not going to be easy.

So it seems like two problems have occurred at the same time which makes me think one caused the other.

Looks pretty large diameter for a vacuum pipe - are you sure it's not crankcase breathing?

 

[voipio]

It's the camera angle. From memory, the pipe itself is about 8mm OD on the Fiesta I've looked at.

 

[jsf55]

sounds like a breather pipe issue, giving too much air too the engine and power down on engine, so assume it's a blocked breather ?

Are you sure you have put the pipe back where it belongs ?
Reason pipe is sucked flat ALL the way don to the torxed screw device, but I would have expected to see a round barb on the device and that the pipe would be round at the end. Maybe the pipe comes from somewhere else (that's spitting OUT oil that the pipe should be sucks up). And there is an electrical connection that has pulled off that torxed screw device and that is causing the poor running. ??

I do believe Ford are replacing engines for free if its gone bang and its an Ecoboost

Having search for an image of the top of engine and found. Seams I was wrong...
BUT see this link

Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost Mk3 No Boost/Loss Power FIXED!!!

((Sorry how long this is just wanted to share this and hope it helps someone out there having the same issue i did and saves them some money to!)) Hello everyone! Since owning my Mk3 2012 Ford Ecoboost 125 there has always been a problem with my boost sometimes the turbo would just cut out...

Just been reading further down that link and seams a common problem !

3 cylinder Eco boost? Fantastic power. Non rebuildable.

From what i understand the whole engine assembled in a hydraulic jig.

New crate engine if anything goes awry.

I just hate modern engine's

Recon fault(s) went
Valve blocked
Pressure built up in cam cove (nearly said valve cover, gawd i'm getting old)
Vac pipe got blown off by build up of pressure
Oil now able to spit out of unblocked (and unpipped) valve and spray under bonnet.
Valve now broken up and blocked again and causing pipe to suck flat (not sure on this last one) maybe bit stuck in pipe. Check by pulling pipe then start engine to see if pipe sucks flat/has suction.

Brought up on A series engines, seems obvious to me
