Hey everyone.
There is a slight leak from intake manifold and turbo pipe on my newly purchased gq.
I am not sure if I should be worrying about it and just replace the gasket or could it be a problem with the turbo or was the guy I bought it from using too thin a oil.
also when I shut of the engine the turbo winds down fairly loud it could just be that I didn't notice it before but I believe its getting louder..

It's got a DTS turbo kit about 2 years old..

here is a couple of photos of the pipe one before I cleaned it and another after its been cleaned and driven on 2 drives probably about 10k's each...

Also what works better gasket goo or cut your own gasket? or is it much of a muchness just looks messy haha

any advice would be much appreciated!!..

:D

Not sure if you have had any replies yet, motorculture app wouldn't refresh...:thumbdown:

The oil on the intake side may be just a build up of oil mist from pcv.
An oil catch can will help. Mine does this also.

Oil on the exhaust side may be rocker cover gasket.

Doesnt look like anything to be overly concerned about.

Not sure about your turbo sound.

Good luck
