The network looks like this : Server X -- My machine -- Server Y
My machine has SSH access to both boxes. Server Y has internet but not server X. How can I make a tunnel so server X can acces the internet through Y?
Thank you

There are several ways of doing this but none of them are good solutions. The way I would probably do it if I had to is like this:
From your machine, tunnel port 222 from your machine to port 22 server Y
ssh -L222:localhost:22 servery
From server X, create a dynamic tunnel from server X to server Y using the previously constructed tunnel. Note: your destination on this command is mymachine
but the credentials you'll use are for server Y since it's what you're actually connecting to.
ssh -D8080 -p 222 mymachine
localhost:8080
