[vbowste1]

Hi all
i have discovered oil leaking from my turbo around the compressor side.
I have bought a kit of ebay to rebuild it but i have no idea what i am doing, Im going to have a go at it anyway.
Can anyone help with info ? Please

Regards Steve

It would be more likely oil from the breather where it returns to the inlet piping it starts leaking at the front of the turbo because it is a low point and the seal isn't that great.
a common fix is a provent catch can .
Or run the breather to the atmosphere and block off where it enters the inlet piping.

In the unlikely event it is your turbo .
Try searching youtube and type (t25 turbo rebuild) into the search function.
It will give you enough info to diy.
heres one example


But i'd suggest watching a few as sometimes they leave out a few things.

Thanks for the help.
Its definitely the turbo as i already have a catch can fitted, after finding this forum i have learned alot about the pollution extras they add to engines now days. No wonder the old 1979 FJ 45 i have on the farm is still going well, it does not have any of that shit on it.

regards
Steve

But do you have a baffled catch can fitted or provent.
A normal catch can does nothing to stop the oil.

My turbo also have a leak in lowest point - return oil pipe. So before unmount turbo check this place.
