Oil Leak

atnas666 · Sep 15th, 2012, 10:10

Hi guys i think my engine may be leaking oil?
hard to see it on this video. But its coming out of where the exhaust manifold means the turbo.

What you guys think??

Is the car using oil? It could be something like a breather tube clogged up meaning there is a higher pressure under the cover forcing oil down the valve stems into the engine which is then burning off?

ill be honest with you.. I dont no if its using oil as turbo went a week ago. So changed that. But have not noticed it drink a lot so if it has it aint been much... also getting a tiny bit of white smoke out of exhaust. Guessing that's coming from where ever the video lot is coming from

Have u checked the oil pipe to the tirbo, the o rings tend to be a weak point ...

Hi mate. If your turbo blew there will still be lots oil in your intercooler and associated pipework. This will pass through the engine and any unburned oil will get out where it can. You can either remove IC to drain and flush as well as all the pipework or just wait until all the excess oil burns itself off.

Oil return pipe seals ??, they can spray a mist of oil onto the manifold and that will smoke in the engine bay, you will also leak slightly. Its an easy fix with cheap parts from volvo.

I don't think that it i used new seals. Also cant see any thing coming from there. But will check again?

How would i check this "higher pressure"

To check for excess crankcase pressure, remove dipstick. If you have lots of smoke coming out high pressure your PCV will need a service or changing.

To clean your IC and associated pipework you will need to remove it although it may be enough just to clean the pipes. I know the IC will prob be a pain to remove. How badly did the turbo go? Was there plumes of smoke?
