Hi,

i have an oil leak at the back of the engine.
I see the oil running on the return hose from the turbo.
So the oil is comming from above that point.
But at the oilfeed on the turbo i don't see it comming out. It's not dry but i expect a lot more oil seeing what is lying on the floor of the garage.
Is it possible that the oil is comming from the centre of the turbo to the outside???

It smokes more then before but i just changed the headgasket so that could have something to do with that. The inlet is clean and the exhaust, checking through the lambda hole is dry.

Any tips are more then welcom *smiley*

there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

IMO. You have disturbed something you need to check around that hose and fittings on the Turbo ..... don't disregard a pin hole in the hose

I was thinking the same but i already refitted the oilfeed and this did not help.

It starts to leak after it has been running for 45 seconds to a minute. The story will continue....

Sounds like the return pipe maye not be flowing enough. Filling up and leaking out of the top?

talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
