leaking oil ,where from??

Its from this bolt, which its a coolant line but its leaking oil,maybe from the head? And i tried tightening it, but it was tight.

No way to tell without pictures from above it. Got any?

you wont be able to see it if i took it from above, but if your looking at the turbo its right next to it.

Get ahold of some brake cleaner spray all of that crap off, drive for a bit and see if you notice it again. From that picture the only thing above that bolt that would possibly leak any oil would almost have to come from the head somewhere. It's probably slowly leaking down the block and getting on that bolt. Oh yeah you could always just use some of that UV oil dye stuff and find exactly where you are leaking any oil.

Crap. Sorry, Im used to looking at a vehicle with the exhman off. from above that, the only place you could leak would be beween the head and block, all you have above that is the water pipe and the exhman so....


I agree, clean it and see if it comes back.

Check around your Valve Cover !

Mine did that till I did a Valve cover gasket kit

You can tell if the valve cover is leaking, you can see it above the manifold. This bolt is underneath the exhaust manifold.
