Oil in Downpipe after Pressurizing for Boost Leak

007_e350 · 07-24-2013, 12:29 PM

Correct, and lots of it maybe as much as quarter of a quart .. Is this normal ? Does this indicate my turbo is leaking ? It pulls just fine, boost is around 15

Found a leaking diverter valve where it plugs into the intake tube, replaced it

Should I be worried abt the oil leak ? Lots of smoke came out for abt half hour but no more now, been 2 days

How did you manage to find all the oil in your DP? Was it coming all the way to the rear pouring out the muffler?

Pressure test was showing rear turbo intake hissing, so I took off DPs to see whats going on thats when oil poured on me

coz I **** with it a lot

... I took intake off probably 8 times this month thats what caused it to dislocate out of the turbo intake coz its connected ... never knew there would be NO CLAMPS there... anyway I put one on

I'm talking abt clamp on # 16 in the pic
