turbo oil line

well, just recently found out this oil leak in my S5. its on the passenger side. i noticed that the oil line from the turbo to the oil pan is leaking. are there any companies that sell replacements?

i just checked out mazdatrix and either they dont carry them, or i might have overlooked them.

I'm sure if you took it to a hose/hydraulic shop they could make you a replacement with the right fittings...

Either that or if you really want a new genuine one your local Mazda dealership should be able to get you one in.

it doesnt smoke under boost. but it does smoke a bit after start up and also just cruising....sometimes when i come to a stop.

Sounds like your turbo is about to die.

damn, that sucks, especially when the turbo was said to be "NEW"

u dont think it would be gaskets or anything like that?

and if the turbo is about to die, can i upgrade the turbo with the stock ECU? or is that unlikely?

New turbo huh?
Hmm not sure, to me it certainly sounds like exactly the same symptoms mine had before it blew totally.

You can urgrade the turbo with a stock computer, however you should certainly think about doing some fuel mods unless you keep it at stock boost.

And no, if the blue smoke is coming out of your exhaust pipe it has nothing to do with gaskets...
