Leak???

Did the service(oil change) yesterday and spotted a slow leaking of oil from the passenger side turbo.

The engine oil never drop since the last oil change as i check every week. And had 4.5 liter of old oil in the pan.

What it could be???

Any thoughts???

 

i have no answer for you but really like your signature pic

 

Probably a leak Rocker covers often leak a bit. Doesn't take much oil at all to make a hell of a mess.

 

It could be a leak!

Thoroughly degrease & clean your engine, start it up & look for the source.

 

Firstly thanks for the reply guys

Secondly, I don't know much about turbos and never pulled one out.
It's not coming from the engine as far as I can see from underneath.

Looks to me it's coming from the turbo itself. Does the engine oil go through the turbo to lubricate????

Cheers

 

Thanks
Yeah that's my Zed

 

Yes Mate your engine oil run,s through your turbo,s small steel line in to top of the turbo housing is the feed in and out the bottom is a big steel line into rubber hose going back into your sump is the oil drain . when we first got our z it looked like the pass side turbo had a oil leak of some kind but turned out to be the exhaust rocker cover leaking and dripping down on to the turbo and was not easy to see , worth a look.

Thanks will look into that.

Can you see exhaust rocker cover from the top side of the engine??

 

Thanks will do that.

It's been going on for 2 years now. And it never dripped on the ground.

It's just goes around the transmission and stick on it.
Never run on low engine oil. And I never have to refill the engine oil.

Cheers
