1.) The turbo on my car (87 TII) is covered in oil, from back to front. WTF is going on here? The line under the turbo seems to have fresh oil on it, and alot of build up. (is this the main oil line/)

2.) The intercooler pipe (closest to the firewall, goes straight down) Also has oil on it. its like seaping through the connector and hose.

3.) Car ******* stinks like fuel after a WOT run. I am also getting poor gas mileage. Could this be an o2 seosor? or something more serious?

4.) When i'm in 4th gear at low revs (Around 2K) The car will start bucking back and forth and make loud clunking noises. What is this?

Thanks for helping a n00b out

Closely inspect/replace all your turbo oil lines. Do you get alot of smoke out the exhaust? At any time?

If your car stinks like fuel, CHECK YOUR PULSATION DAMPENER ASAP. Many guys have had fires in their FC3S' due to a PD failure. Number one symptom of a failed PD is the smell of fuel.

 

i would remove the I/C and inspect for leaking oil, fuel, especially out the Fuel rail, and the PD. check for leaking injector grommets. It's not uncommon for the oil line (to and return) to the turbo leak.

 

i get no smoke at all cept a tiny tiny bit on start up. and where is the pd (sorry still a n00b to teh fc's)


thanks guys

 

Sounds like your turbo oil seals need to be repalce, you can get a rebuilt kit for the turbo at www.turbocity.com

 

damn, is that a difficult job?
