What the f****k? Steam cleaning
Ok first off I notice in the garage a very minor oil leek coming from the turbo side so I wasn’t to worried about it. Today I decided to do a little carbon steam cleaning in side the motor via the intake manifold threw the vacuum nipples by letting water get sucked up with the engine running. So there I am letting the engine suck up water when I noticed some of the water was poring out somewhere threw the turbos. So my question is where is the water coming out from is there some type of line where it can be leaking out from that can be fix or replaced? Maybe its coming out threw where the oil is leaking out but then again im not leaking that much oil?

its probably a vacuum line/in other words a line that contains noting but air...not your oil feed line or oil return line or coolant lines because if the oil or coolant lines where leaking you would notice that fairly quickly.besides a little water into your engine is not that bad.besides what you think water injection is all about.lol

none... it might be leaking down the housings.just run the engine for like half hour on idle.if its still leaks then its something other than that steam water.touch the water,feel it and smell it to see if its relay water,antifreeze or oil.Improvise dude you can figure that out.

It was most likely leaking from the Lower Intake Manifold gasket. It's not uncommon for those to get worn over time. It's also possible that it was water that didn't burn in the combustion cycle and was coming out from an exhaust leak either at the exhaust manifold or the downpipe connection.

Thanks for the help guys!
