Turbo Oil Leak

[nitro xr6 turbo]

hi guys, just bought a 11/09 fg xr6 turbo ute last month. was verry happy with it untill I sent it up on the hoist at work only to find the turbo was leaking oil in a big way. so sent it back to titan ford under warenty, got it back the next day and the service advisor told me it was leaking through the induction pipe, yes I know its normal for a bit of oil to pass through from the engine breather but this is a huge leak. anyway after 5 mins of argueing someone told me that they tightened up the oil feed line, so I dont know what to belive.

I did 100kms in it and then put it up on the hoist again only to find it leaking just as bad, but that's not all, it is now leaking coolant from the turbo aswell!!!

so back to ford I went, went and picked it up the next day. they told me that they pressure tested the cooing system overnight and couldnt fault it, and regaurding the oil leak they put a new hose clamp on the induction piping (probably because they reefed the old one so hard and broke it) so back to square one :(

I have a friend at a different ford dealership who is a service advisor,and their boss is away atm and he is doing all bookings/warenty stuff and said he will just book in for a brand new turbo under warenty. im not to sure on this as I dont know if it is the turbo at fault or not and dont want them to get in the sh*ts for doing it.

do you guys know what normaly leaks on them? it looks to me like its the feed line that is leaking but aparently they have tightend it, so dont know if it needs a new washer or if something is warped or what? would you gofor the new turbo or just keep sending it back or what??

thanks in advance

I would'nt say no to a new turbo. If it still leaks you have eliminated that as a cause and you have a new turbo.
