If you want to check it pull the intake pipe off the front of the turbo and see how much oil is sitting in the pipe or dripping out the front housing in the turbo... Best to do this in morning cold....jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had an oil change done the week earlier. There is some oil in the air intake tube (before the plenum)Other members tell me that oil in this tube is fairly normal..Should I be worried?Is there anything that can be done to stop the seals on the turbo leaking oil?Jake.
