F6WPN Member 6 Member For: 17y 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 06/11/08 07:19 AM Share Posted 06/11/08 07:19 AM Hi all.I have a BA F6, and is leaking alot of oil from the turbo. I pulled the pipe off from the underbattery to the turbo and found quite alot of oil.The car still spools up normal .. does not blow any smoke, I have checked the hose from the rocker cover to the turbo intake and found no oil thinking it might be blow by.Anyone had this problem before?? If it was a seal, shouldnt it blow alot of smoke?CheersDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
