All BA A320s have IAE V2500 engines whereas Easyjet aircraft have only CFM engines. Although Easyjet have a larger fleet of A330/A319 aircraft, BA seems to suffer more 'fumes in cockpit' incidents. This suggests that the IAE engine may be the culprit. I understand it has a higher oil pressure than other jet engines thus putting greater stress on its oil seals.
