Oil on turbo?

[alexB]

I made a post before with not much of a reply. I have noticed some oil build up on the bottom of my turbo. I wiped it clean acouple times and keeps on showing back up.

What would be some things to look at that would be causing this?

gasket going bad on the return line where it bolts up to the turbo try and re tighten the bolts if there loose, or you might have to go and get a new gasket. you could always use some permatex as a gasket too thats what i did on mine when the one that bolts to the block got messed up and it works just fine with no leaks.

That what it looked like to me. I have had a problem with the rubber section of that line getting a small slit in it before. I am wanting to replce that line with a braided line possibly. It would have to be very short though. Not sure if its worth it.

The o-ring needs to be replaced.

where to get them

I have the same problem. I have looked all over the internet for rings or a gasket. Where can it be found. One place even told me I need a new turbo

um, check with the dealer.

Had this same problem. Turbo ended up being replaced by dealer due to the wastegate sticking, not sure if this was a direct effect or if the turbo was just on it's last leg.

Have the same thing, go to the dealer and ask for the O ring #13 I think it was, here is a pic I posted yesterday with my leaky turbo
