hey guys,

I noticed oil leaking under the car few weeks ago then i decided to check it out, turns out to be from the turbo. I also got loss of power from the primary turbocharger.

There is no smoke blowing from the exhuast so i am puzzled and not sure whether my twins are blown or not. Could this be an actuator problem?
There is oil however throughout the piping which leads me to believe that it may really be the turbo's.

Can someone point me into a direction of what i can look at to be certain or if im missing something.

Thanks guys

 

do a silicone vacuum hose job.

 

Oil in the piping intake piping? You said it was leaking outside the car or is it both?

 

both in the intake and outside the car

 

Yeah its leaking both under the car and also oil all through the piping aswel

 

The smoke would appear mostly when you are at full throttle or just afterward.

There are plenty of places for oil to leak. That said, if one or both of your turbo seals are shot, the oil will be everywhere within the intake piping and also tend to leak out of the intake piping gaskets. Be careful with this especially on the rear turbo compressor outlet - this can drip right onto your hot exhaust.

could be a number of things unfortunately. Get a turbo and associated hose diagram and start there. It could be losing power due to a solenoid, a hose, etc not allowing it to spool. The oil leak could be completely seperate. Could be one of the oil lines leaking onto the turbos and then onto the ground. The oil seals in the turbos could be completely worn as well.

I am facing a similar issue right now, loss of boost and oil in the intercooler. After some searching I found a disconnected hose on the primary turbo housing. Also through some help via this forum, I found my turbos are most likely ok, my turbos have probably been sucking up oil via the oil filler neck vent line during hard cornering at the track and blowing it back through the intake lines.

I swear I'm going 20b N/A

Good Luck
