Turbo leaking oil into intake?

Featured Replies

I think my turbo may be leaking oil into my intake. I few months back I did the 'elephant hose mod' and cleaned out my intake pipes and intercooler. However I still have oil seepage from the lowest point of the intake pipe where it runs parallel to the undertray and into the bottom of the intercooler. I suspect the turbo may be leaking a wee bit of oil. Should I be worried? Is the death of my turbo imminent? My furby has done 115k miles on a single KKK turbo :-) I'm sure it's about to go bang at some point lol.

Most oil going through a turbo is coming from the engine breather which is vented into the turbo intake.

Thanks, not quite what I was looking for. "Elephant hose mod" = engine breather no longer vented into intake. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks

Sorry I missed that. Did you clean out the pipes after the elephant pipe mod?
