Oil Leak from Turbo
Hi All,
I have a small oil leak from the front lower inter cooler hose on my V70 TDI. The inter cooler was replaced in February and it has been leaking on and off since then. The lower hose has been replaced as well but there is still a slight leak. I am reluctant to really tighten the clip up as the inter cooler pipe is plastic and i don't want to damage it. Am I right in thinking this oil is coming from the turbo oil seals and a bit of oil in there is normal? There seems to be a lot of oil in the pipes so how much would be normal? The car has done over 300000 miles and the turbo is original so it wouldn't be a surprise if it was well worn. The upper turbo hose has also just split. Am I best getting a genuine replacement or are the pattern ones OK? Thanks TCH |
