Turbo Oil Leak Posted by Jonathan Scupin [Email] (#428) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Jonathan Scupin) on Mon, 7 Feb 2005 21:58:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So my (new to me) '88's mitsubishi turbo started leaking oil two days ago. Definitely not coming from the oil supply/return lines, and appears to be coming from just to the left of the compressor housing. Is this indicative of a coming failure/necessary turbo rebuild, or can I do anything to correct this problem? (Stop leak product?) The engine was rebuilt 12K miles ago, and the turbo was young (not new) at that point. Boosting has been somewhat erratic, as in sometimes I the needle will just touch the red (on APC gauge) but more often than not, it will only reach 3/4 of the way through the orange/yellow.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
