RedM Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Putting some new clips on cured mine but as to whether oil should be passing through it is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will if it's running higher then stock boost or if its had a hard life the turbo oil seals may be leaking a bit , If you got oil in your air box then they are .

More or less standard boost really, just over 0.8 bar, car has done about 80k, I'm not to worried about the condition of the engine or tubbies bacause it was rolling roaded at 360bhp about 2 months ago, so can't be that much wrong with it, I suspect the oil has come from the valve guide oil seals as I have started to notice a puff of smoke on start up.

Yes could be that to 360 on stock boost that is good figger so no problems with the engine there then , As said just wipe it off and clean it with some carb cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
