comnthroo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningwould Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 is the leak near the base of the turbo or the intake hose coupler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Jason, post up a pic of the leak. Or swing by my place on your way to Timms on the weekend. Edited April 8, 2009 by DavefromOZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavefromOZ Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm moving this to the diesel section where people can probably help more... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olgus69 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 maybe the oil line to the turbo has a split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullThrottle Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmask Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
