My td05 is leaking a small amount of oil from the turbo outlet and slowly making its way into the fmic hard pipe. I have done a search but i cant find anyone that's done a turbo seal repair. Does anyone have step by step instructions how to do this, or has done it themselves. Looking at the repair kit it looks like a simple job. Where is the best place to buy a kit from OR will it be OK for another 30,000

thanks in advance

Why do you think the oil is coming from the turbo and not somwhere else like one of the breathers vented into the inlet tract?

I have cleaned boost pipes and the boost solenoid and they weren't that dirty which made me think it could be coming from the turbo outlet. Perhaps a oil catch can is needed. I'm not that clued up on the vent/breathing side of things.

Could it not be one of the rocker cover breathers or the crank case breather venting into the inlet pipe between the MAF and the turbo? The oil vapour could then be making it's way through the turbo and the intercooler & pipework? I vented these breathers to atmosphere and blocked off the inlets into the inlet pipe, works fine.

I will try venting to atmosphere and see what happens. I'm not sure what pipes are wot so any chance of a picture/diagram. MY99
