I've posted a couple things about my car before mostly about my turbo. I've done a search and I've came up empty so here goes..

First problem: When I replaced my turbo, I made sure everything was very tight and torqued down to factory specs., even though my friend told me just tightening the bolts as much as you can will do, is that true? Anywho, I put anti-freeze into the reservoir, according to the underhood instructions, is that right also? It doesn't feel right. I keep rambling, sorry. When I started it up, it gave me a oil pressure or oil warning on the gauge, I really didn't mind it, thinking it's just trying to recirculate the oil, yes I did prime the turbo also. After driving it around a bit, I got back and one of my buddies told me I was leaking something. So I got out and saw that oil was leaking, but where is it coming from? It's coming somewhere around the oil pan, leaking toward the middle.

Second problem: I did a search and I've seen all the topics about Speedos. I looked everywhere, I checked everything and still the Speedometer does not function. What can I do? :confused:

Those are the only two I have so far that need to be corrected. Thanks again guys! :thumb:
 
If its leaking towards the middle of the oil pan have you checked the oil return for the turbo. They tend to leak after you mess with them if not torqued down enough.
 
As for the speedometer, try the VSS sending unit on the transmission. If all your other guages are working, this is the first place I would look. Do you or a friend have a data logger or a scan tool at your disposal? I am not positive about the loggers, but an OBDII scan tool can read vehicle speed, and if you are driving and it reads "0" then you have an issue with the sender.Hope this helps.
