1994 FD with oil leak at turbo
Hi all,
Just had my oil change and the technician noticed a drop of oil (actually more than a drop) at the bottom half only of the rear turbo (by the snap ring). Car seems to be working fine, no spots on my garage floor. Car only has 20,000 miles, any ideas??? Could the turbo be gone???

Would it make sense at only 20,000 original miles that the turbo would be gone? I just checked my garage again and I do not see any oil anywhere. I will go back to the garage next week, get it cleaned up and maybe add die to the engine oil? I will also take pictures and post it on the site.

If you do any DIY work, I suggest you remove the y-pipe and look for oil in the front or back of the pipe. A small amount in either end is acceptable and indicates a tiny amount of leakage past the turbo seals. If it's dry, I would look externally (the oil lines) for leakage.
A set of new gaskets and crush washers should stop the leak.
