Mini - loose pipe

Does anyone happen to know whether the pipe attached to the bolt (nut?) within the red rectangle is supposed to be loose:

The metal pipe moves within the union close to the bolt head. Looks as though it's crimped.

There's an occasional smell of hot oil, thought it might be this. Oil consumption doesn't seem to be affected.

Thanks, Rob

it appears to be the oil feed pipe for the turbo, whatever it is, it should not be loose. either get it recrimped or replace it.

Quite right - BMW Mini fixed it because I didn't have time - £500, drat.

Sorry to hear that, but it had to be fixed, it wouldn't have healed !

Yikes! That's quite a few tankfuls, even at today's prices.
