Oil leakage at boost

Hi,

I seem to have a little bit of a trouble with my FD. Last summer when I did the yearly oil change I saw that there were oil on the engine and oil pan, my first thought were that the pan seal were broken. I cleaned up all the oil and took a short ride to see where it where leaking. To my big surprise pan seal weren’t leaking at all, the oil came from the top of the engine. The engine is renovated prox. 20.000km ago.

After a little bit of more investigation I also found out that it did only leak when I got boost.


So my question is, does anyone have an idea of what cloud possibly be broken and leak oil at boost?


I hope you’re able to read my poor English…

Check your oil outlet pipes on your turbo

Oil catch can will solve your problem, check the leak by the filller neck.

The thing is I’ve already starting to strip down the engine and to my big disappointment the oil feed to the turbo (from the frontplate to the turbo) looks ok. When I got boost the oil were pouring on the frontplate down, is it possible that the outlet piping from oil metering pump is broken?

I’ll attach a photo on the “dry” side of the engine.
