mini countryman 1.6d n47 oil leak. cracked camshaft cover

this little mini has had an oil leak for quite some time and the customer only noticed when they could smell oil burning and they said it was coming from by the turbo. upon inspection the little heat blanket that covers the turbo had soaked up quite a bit of oil almost acted like a sponge as you can see in the video. I diagnosed it to be the camshaft cover had a hairline crack in it and had been blowing oil straight towards the turbo when the blanket had absorbed the oil to a point where it couldn't hold no more and it was dripping on the manifold hence the burning of oil. I've replaced the cover now and advised the customer to bring the car back in a few weeks so I can just check to see I everything is as it should be!
