Turbo bearing leaking?

serv92 · 04-20-2012, 02:51 AM

is it possible that my turbo bearing is leaking anti-freeze and/or oil then blowing it out the exhaust.

When I feel the bearing from the front of the turbo(air-intake) there is about 2mm to 3mm of play but the bearing still spins freely with no resistance.
Also I don't hear any noises from this/no clicking knocking. good sign/bad sign?

Is this a problem.

If it is how do I fix it?

I thought I could just replace the bearing, but I cant find one online.

If this is a problem do I need to buy a whole new turbo?
