A TAP Air Portugal Airbus A320-200N, registration CS-TVL performing flight TP-1023 from Madrid,SP (Spain) to Lisbon (Portugal), was climbing out of Madrid's runway 36L when the crew donned their oxygen masks, stopped the climb at FL160 reporting fumes in cockpit and forward galley and cabin and decided to return to Madrid. The aircraft landed safely back on runway 32L about 25 minutes after departure.

Maintenance determined oil contamination in the left hand engine (LEAP), cleaned the contamination, performed an engine run and returned the aircraft to service.

The aircraft departed again and reached Lisbon with a delay of about 6:20 hours, but has remained on the ground in Lisbon since (for 5 hours).
