I searched and couldn't find the answer to my question. I recently did a turbo swap and re-checked that everything was hooked up correctly. Car idles and runs fine.
Now i have 2 problems, my car is leaking coolant around and between the upper radiator hose and one of the rubber hoses from which the turbo feeds coolant off of, and i have an oil leak, i would say huge but not visible.
Have any of you guys run into a problem like this before leaking fluids after an install ? I know these are old hoses that need to be replaced due to their age and wear and tear. I didn't expect that after taking off a hose and putting it back on it would run a chance of leaking ?
Also i put in 4 quarts of mobil 1 fully synthetic oil and the next morning it was down to the 1st line on the oil dipstick, it hasa minor leak where the oil return bolts to the oil pan, but it's a leak that leaks only drops, could it be possible for that little area to leak that much ?
Thanks in advance for any help. I am looking to fix this problem next week when i have a free day off from work.
