Bad turbo seals?

[reNgrOets19]

I noticed the other day that iu have oil on the bottom of my turbo i was just wonderin if this means bad turbo seals??

If the seals are gone, it would be smoking. You'll know when something happens. That oil is probably from your PCV valve on your valve cover, you may want to get a catch can for it.

What are you talking about? Your PCV has nothing to do with oil on the bottom of the turbo.....


It's one of three things usually.
1) Your turbo feed line that connects to the top of the turbo is old and leaking oil down to the bottom of the turbo.
2) If your oil feed line is still attched to the head, the crush washers there could be bad as well leaking oil down to the top, then to the bottom of the turbo.
3) Your oil return line at the bottom of the turbo is leaking.

Regardless of which of these is your problem, it will cost you less than 5 dollars to fix.
For 1 & 2 replace the crush washers
For 3 replace the gasket.
