2.7 turbo diesel terrano oil leak

[comnthroo]

hi there

 

my problem is i have a oil leak coming out near the turbo (2.7 turbo diesel motor) is it just a case of getting a new gasket?

[Morningwould]

is the leak near the base of the turbo or the intake hose coupler?

Jason, post up a pic of the leak. Or swing by my place on your way to Timms on the weekend.

Sorry bud, cant really tell from the pick, I will try to get my head under the bonnet of mine tomorrow after work to see if I can see where oil might come from around there.

I'm moving this to the diesel section where people can probably help more...

maybe the oil line to the turbo has a split.

Give the entire area around the leak a good clean (water blast, or whatever) then go for a spin and then pin point where the leak is. From your picture it looks like yours has been leaking where mine is. I have an engine manual and was planning to pull it apart.

I had the same problem so I started taking the intake pipes off and noticed a significant amount of oil and sludge buildup downstream of where my pcv valve enters the intake.. removed turbo and intake manifold and cleaned them both out and bought a new pcv valve and a catch can in hopes of solving the blow by problem...i guess this happens at 29:1 compression...good luck
