hey my turbo is leaking oil into my exhaust still, a little help
I have been trying to fix this for 6 months. can somebody please help me out? I have taken the turbo apart two dozen times and have tried adjustments and new pieces.
Nothing works. Someone help me get on the right track |
Are you sure the center housing oil drain is not caked shut with burned oil?
|
I also make it a point to put the split ring oil seal in with the gap facing up.
|
you are positive its the turbo and not the motor leaking?
|
Jesus, I visually inspected the chra and it looked fine. I cannot recall which direction the piston ring is sitting.
Ryan, I sure hope the oil is coming from the turbo! & not the inside of the motor. Which piece of the motor would have to fail to have that much oil coming out the exhaust? Oil control rings iirc. I put about 1,000 miles on the rebuild and so far the dip stick is reading almost below safe. |

Once I installed slightly larger journal bearings this smoke was about half as much. It's still too much smoke to drive around with though... |
Any turbo rebuild local shop recommendations?
|

Thanks Jason, removed the turbo this morning. Exhaust manifold is pretty covered in oil.Attachment 756056 I'm going to have a professional assemble the turbo now. Oil in the manifold scares me
|
Alamo in kent? they actually had a hard time with my fd turbos, ran into some issues, but they would probably be able to do the fc turbo easily.
|
remove the manifold from the engine and take a picture of that side of it? theres no oil in the exhaust ports is there?
|
WtF? Are the nipples on the oil filler neck and center iron plugged off?
|
Jesus, I have a neat new catch can installed. Running a line from the drivers side center iron & also the oil fill neck.
Spoke with a turbo professional. I was twice shipped incorrect size journal bearings. Amazing I was able to put it together & drive 1000 miles with too small journal bearings w/o ruining any of the turbo pieces in the process, or worse :-\ |
...cool stuff like this happens to you all the time!!!
