We present preliminary results from observations of the massive WR+O binary WR 22 performed with the XMM-Newton observatory. The star is brighter in the X-ray domain near apastron and fainter at periastron. The change in brightness is very progressive and mainly corresponds to a lowering of the soft part of the spectrum.
