oil leak from downpipe

[cds1320]

ok so i searched and couldnt find anything. i have a 4g63 with a hahn super 20G which has a t3 flange so instead of using an adapter I bought an obx t3 tubular manifold with an external wastegate. I also upgraded to 680cc injectors any way i have an oil leak coming from my exhaust. its smoking out the rear end and out of the hole i have in the down pipe and its dripping out of there too any suggestions on why its leaking bad seal or gasket or something? i dont know, help would be appreciated.

Have you checked the exahust mani studs if one is loose it could drip a bit.Otherwise i would say the turbo is blown bad seals.

Could be a few things Turbo seals or bad valve seals. Pull manifold off and check runners for leaky valve seals.

well its basically a new turbo it only has like 3k miles on it

i checked the gaskets they are all fine on the manifold im missing the far bottom right bolt but nothing seems to leak out of there the leak looks more like its coming from the turbo area but the turbo isnt old

 

[cds1320]

it seems to be leaking from where the air filter piping connects to the turbo. does that mean that my turbo is bad?

Just cause something is new, doesn't mean it works. Take the intake off and see where the leak is coming from.

ok i found it and fixed it it was the line from the oilpan to the turbo was kinked and cracked

 

[BigSorn]

how was it kinked?

isn't it a metal line?

 

[crimsondragon]

You never seen kinked metal lines? Take a thin aluminum tube and bend it.
