BoGlE Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 im sure that there should be a very thin layer of oil in the intercooler and pipes but i mean only a thin layer, i could be wrong. how much oil is around you dumpvalve? has it just seeped out? as for your leak im sure it can only be your return pipe or feed..have a look under your car and check, mite just want the nuts pinching up. always worth a try i guess joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danturbo4311 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Could be a problem with turbo seals, or it could be an engine problem, how much oil is coming out of the dumpvalve, there shouldnt be any oil in the intercooler pipes really, & as for the oil leak were abouts on the turbo is it coming from, as it could be a crack in the feed pipe, I would get a compression test done aswell just to be sure the engines ok.

kdowg Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 thats was i was thinking the turbo seals. its not much oil just a little bit and just thin layer in the pipes. i done a compression test a few weeks ago because I've got a misfire aswell between 3/4000 revs which I've tried everything to get rid of and i dunno wa it is im thinking the engine. I've looked under the car but yah cant really see were its cuming from to be honest theres oil all over off it. cheers dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT Phayer Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 get some brake cleaner or gunk stuff and clean it off as best you can mate then run the car and wait for the oil to start leaking so u can clearly see were its coming from Quote Link to post Share on other sites
