Oil Leak after New Turbo (inc.Pics)

Postby safc2005 » Wed Sep 05, 2012 6:13 pm

Your advise is needed please guys, I originally had an oil leak and black smoke, local garage said new turbo needed, so having replaced the turbo I still have slight black smoke and oil leak, I think the oil leak is coming from the front of the engine bay. I have taken some photos to help, I'm going crazy now haha, the joys of driving.

That looks like my old 1.9 engine. Clean everything, and try to identify where the leak is coming from.

The 'bottle' immediately below the oil filler cap is prone to getting gelled up. The net result of this is that the PCV pressure blows out oil. This discovery saved me from buying and new turbo. It might be prudent to remove and clean all the associated pipework (including the tiny pipe at its base).

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!
