hey boys i have a bit of a leak from the turbo its not coming from the oil return and im 90% sure its not coming from the oil feed, were else on te turbo could it be coming from?

A crack somewhere? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

doubt it, its about 2 weeks old

maybe its not torqued up properly.

i thought i had this and it was a brand new turbo turned out to be leaking power steering lines LOL...

lol nah i dont think its that man

i had leaking power streeing lines it's a differnet color oil have you taken the intake off and had a look at the comp wheel ?? my mate had a reco turbo put on his toyota surf a week later it was leaking oil and the comp wheel was covered in it spitting it round he never got it fixed under warranty cause the car got written off 2 days later. so i dunno what was wrong with his

is it engine oil? where is it leaking or where has it built up? internally or externally

not sure, im 100% its not engine oil because its leaking from the top of the turbo and dripping down onto the return line, i havent checked the oil feed properly because i had trouble with the banjo bolt fitting a while ago and had to get 1 custom made so i hope its that and not anything major

If it's leaking from the turbo then it's engine oil, as opposed to power steering fluid, trand fluid, etc.

nah lol i know if its coming from the turbo its engine oil, i just ment its not coming from the engine its coming from the turbo, its engine oil and its coming from the turbo just cant find were exactly its leaking from

engine oil, power steering oil, it all looks the same when it leaks over ur dirty engine bay.

get underneather and give the turbo a clean...take it for a drive and see where the drips are comin from

i did that already i know its coming from the turbo 100% but i just want to know were else on the turbo the oil could be coming from besides the oil return hose and oil feed line?

Mine leaked on the oil in once, ended up being the gasket was dead, if you cant find one just seal her up with some copper gasket sealent. As for comming from any where else on the turbo i doubt it, it owuld have to be a major crack

Does the oil feed have a gasket on the turbo housing?

are all the brass washes on the banjo bolts cause thats wher mine were leakin from...

i got the same prob with my bro's atm its leaking from the turbo oil return its either the gasket or the hose.
