turbo leaking oil like the exxon valdez
i wouldn't normally do this, and i hope i'm wrong- i still need to do some more investigation, but this is what i've found so far.
my car was smoking something fierce and i had to take the dp off anyway to fix the exhaust leak. that is the minor problem now.
the turbo i was sold leaks more oil than the exxon valdez. i'm going to assume it has no seals in it at all. i didn't take it apart when i got it and perhaps i should have. i was told it was brand new, which it sure looked like it was.
you can see oil leaking out both the turbine and the compressor side on the bottom of the turbo.
here is what spilled out of the end of the dp when i took it apart.
