Turbo Spitting Oil

[PrettyBoy23]

Hey guys My turbo is spitting oil through the side where it connects to the exhaust. It seems to be spitting out a lot. I just changed the oil in my car, replaced the oil pan gasket, and the downpipe tube from the turbo to the oil pan, it s pretty big so should flow good.

Any idea whats going on? I need to get the problem fixed. Will the oil cause any damage to the rest of the parts or the turbo? Please help.

Your seal is probably done in the turbo. If thats the case it's time for a rebuild. That's my guess.

But it was working fine before I changed the oil It didnt spit oil or anything. Did I plug something wrong somewhere? I highly doubt it.

Exactly where is it leaking from?

 

[PrettyBoy23]

Well its not leaking. Its spitting throught the exhasut side, we removed the o2 housing to see if it is and yeap. Thats where the oil is spitting from.

Sounds like it needs a rebuild to me. Check the in/out play

So you checked it while the engine was running?

 

[PrettyBoy23]

Yea, right when it turns on it starts to spit oil. So I shut it off quickly. This thing is making my head hurt.

The only thing that I could think of is the bearing/seal. Definitely going to need a rebuild.

Sounds like the old oil was just enought to make it seal..Then you put in new oul and bam too clean of oil and the turbo is spitting out oil..

^+1 I agree. Definately turbine seal is shot. Need turbo rebuild or replacement. I just rebuilt mine for spitting oil into the LICP due to blown compressor side seal. Here's a pic of the T25 seals and journal bearings for my 99 GST. A rebuild kit contains these main parts and other stuff.
