jgxr Member 3 Member For: 14y 7m 16d Posted 20/09/10 07:50 AM Author Share Posted 20/09/10 07:50 AM Basically the turbo is sucking engine oil and blowing it around the intercooler piping, the hoses at the joins are seaping engine oil, what would be the possible cause? car has done 6000kms.

velocityxr6t Member 122 Member For: 16y 5m 21d Gender: Male Posted 20/09/10 10:30 PM Share Posted 20/09/10 10:30 PM Blow by won't put oil in the turbo. If oil is present before the turbo, what is happening is the tappet cover is being pressurised, aka boost is leaking into it, maybe through valve stem seals, and pushing oil out the breather into the intake pipes. If it is only after the turbo the seals in the turbo are gone which is properly more likely. Pretty ceartin Ford don't build there own turbo's so this would be more a manfactures fault, however ford failed to identify it.Hopefully I am overlooking something smaller thoug it does seem like a lemon.

Seeping out of your intercooler piping would be a concern. Id get that checked out. Ford should replace the turbo under warranty if it is in fact the problem. Good luck with it.

If blowby does not put oil in the turbo then where does it come from?The only way the 'tappet cover' gets pressurised is by blowby........and not just from valve stem seals. If it was driven softly for the first 6000kms then there is a fair chance the bores are glazed, which will cause blowby.jgxr, do you have any pictures you could post of these leaks?

SecaBoy Donating Members 203 Member For: 16y 3m 2d Posted 24/09/10 05:30 AM Share Posted 24/09/10 05:30 AM I have the EXACT same situation as you...2010 XR6T... at 5,000kms I noticed oil on the outside of the hot pipe just after the turbo...I took it to ford and their response was "its completely normal for oil to pass through the turbo"... just noticed last night that now oil is seaping out of the pipe just before the intake manifold as well... so the intercooler must be filled with oil by now... I'll be taking it back to ford next week to beat them around the ears... :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70627-help-xr6t/#findComment-1042731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kink Member 294 Member For: 16y 8m 29d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 27/09/10 12:46 PM Share Posted 27/09/10 12:46 PM lol, I am having this same thing happening, and was told it is normal. It definatly has given my tidy engine bay a black eye. The turbo has dirty sh*t on it. When I wriggle the pipe oil seeps out, should I take the pipe off and wipe up the oil so the pipe doesn't slip on the turbo? Then put it back and hit it with degreaser??
