Its a gusher!!

So I was taking the turbo off my car today, and when I got to the point of removing the charge piping I got one hell of a surprise. A puddle, no a POOL of oil came out of the piping. I know oil gets past seals and all that jazz, but I dont think this much is normal.



It even made it under the carpet!



Never burned oil, not even after starting it up after sitting for a long time. Im pretty sure I know what your all going to say, but Ill wait for the comments.

Oh the horror!! Yet the turbo is still clean this car amazes me

what turbo?, weird that it didnt burn oil, mine with a lot less in the pipings did smoke. Do you have an orp or cat?

[svtf1417]

GT28, and I guess you could consider my downpipe an ORP since my car is catless

[SVTRSST]

miles on turbo?

[svtf1417]

probably alot more then I was led to believe. Im guessing the seals are blown and Im pretty sure theyre just high temp rubber o-rings arent they?

[ZXthrizzle05]

[1turbofocus]

The seals are metal and in some cases ceramic

How long was it since the last time you had the pipes off ? Here is my motto. If it isnt broke , dont fix it. If it`s not smoking, and building boost the way it`s supposed to I wouldnt worry to much. Keep an eye on it now that you know it is leaking. And see how much oil gets by in a couple days maybe even a week.
What`s strange to me is , how we get used to the way our cars run, and dont really notice the performance falling off, if its a little at a time. Then when you give it a tune up or repair a small problem and the car comes alive again. You go , crap ! it was running bad.
