Thread: Rear Main Oil Seal Leak

  1. #1

    Default Turbo Oil Seal Leak

    Looks like I have a oil seal leak from the turbo. The car is track/road car so it does work very hard. It does not burn any oil.

    Well if your clutch is still relatively new, maybe look into a lightweight singlemass flywheel, it does feel good

    o.k. thanks. Still on the original clutch at 106,000km so I will replace it. For track work is single mass better than dual mass ?

    Found source of oil leak, coming from turbo inlet. Time for an oil catch can between tappet cover breather & TIP.

    I checked the pipe from tappet cover to air intake for any evidence of blow by. The pipe is very clean & dry which means the oil is not coming from tappet cover. The car doesn't blow any smoke & use any oil. If the oil is leaking through the turbo I would expect it would blow smoke. I don't know where this oil is coming from ??
