Well this past week I got around to changing the power steering pressure line. It took a week or so just to find out the leak was coming from there! That was the biggest pain, which was surprising seeing as I thought removing the old line and putting in the new line was going to be a pain. Whole process took about 3 hours, the line itself cost $54.00
While I was in there I had to remove the intake hose to the Turbo and the line from the Intercooler to the intake itself. Upon removing them I was surprised to find some traces of oil. Here are the pics: Removing the pressure line, oddly enough the whole assembly came out together... putting that back in was fun ![]() ![]() Hose from the intercooler to the Intake itself, its hard to see but there is a small amount of oil in the hose. Is this normal? ![]() Another Shot ![]() Intake shot, the Oil is hard to see here ![]() Turbo, notice the oil on the lip, is this also normal? ![]() I checked the turbo, everything is spinning as it should and I don't see any oil leaking directly from inside. I also checked around the outside of the turbo itself and nothing out of the ordinary. But I am noticing that I am going through oil like crazy, while I was fixing the powersteering line I noticed two oil lines underneath that are leaking and those are next to be replaced, but I'm not convinced they are the main problem. I use 20W50, I would think that would be right for this car. Although I am fairly new to Turbo'ed applications so my query is, Because of the Turbo do you get a lot of burned off oil from regular daily driving? Are these cars known to burn oil like this? And secondly, Should I be concerned about the oil in the intake lines and on the lip of the turbo? Thanks, -Ryan |
