Td42t turbo oil leaking

[AB]

Would be very interesting to see where that oil is coming from mate.

Take the oil breather pipe off and see how much blowby you are getting.

You could also clean it all up again, clean up the outlet of the turbo up as well let the breather vent to atmosphere for a bit, drive it and see if any more oil comes out.

No more oil means you have heavy blowby and possible other issues, oil comes out then turbo is leaking.

Or just simply clean up the turbo outlet, leave the oil breather pipe off and the pipe to IC and idle in carport for a while to see if you can see oil coming up.

Here's a video of mine leaking from "issues"...Long story!

Bump for Jayden, did you try the above mate, I just saw your other post.

If your turbo is leaking it will be throwing oil through your IC to inlet, etc and any leaks will be showing up all over the place.

Yeah mate, gave her a clean up and removed the oil breather from the intake and let it vent to atmosphere for anout a week. Still got an oil leak in that same spot but could just be frim any oil left in the piping. Fitted a catch can yesterday and hopefully i will have gaskets soon so that i can clean the piping out and see how she goes.

Yep could be left over as you said.

I would be also keen to see a visual inspection of the turbo compressor outlet to IC pipe taken off, carefully cleaned and idle for 20 minutes watching for new oil coming up with no oil breather connected to try and pin point it to turbo leaking.

I'm still banking money on turbo leaking oil.

Hahaha alright, i think the gaskets may be in, just have to puck them up from the post office and then should be able to do it matbe this weekend or when i have time. Any tips on the best/safest way to clean the turbo and piping and stuff?

[AB]

Nah you can't clean too much of it to be honest just a cloth but don't dig down too deep near the fins where you can't see.
