Oil leak Help from any MD DSM guys

[boostyGST]

Hey guys......got a prob.....over a period of about 1300 miles I have been steadily losing oil . I have a small leak that drips a couple of time for every 4-5 hours ... the little spot that the leak is comin from is located dead center under the engine .....


Where is it most prevalent for a leak to come from in that area.......

There is a metal flexable house right behind and beneath the turbo housing that has a small dent in it and it might have a slight hole in it

And guys that live local to 21502 MD that actually know what they are doing can come look at it and FIX it .willing to pay.


thk you ..tyler

It could be the turbo oil return line. It is a somewhat flexible metal "hose". Sometimes they leak from a crack in the flex section (the rings), and other times it leaks where it joins the bottom of the engine (gasket problems, usually). Here's a couple pics--the turbo oil return line is the one coming from the bottom of the turbo in the turbo diagram below:

me and my buddy looked at it ton and pretty much narrowed it down to the oil return line .....there is a slight pinch in the line and looks to be a slight crack in it



WHERE CAN I BUY A OIL RETURN LINE WITH THE FLANGES AND GASKETS ON THE WEB WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP.
