1.5DCI turbo oil leak

Postby Gumby6371 » Mon Mar 02, 2020 12:47 pm

Hi all,

Not a biggy but I thought I'd ask anyway

I've had an oil leak on my turbo ever since I bought it 4 years ago that's been picked up on the MOT every year.
TBH it uses between half a litre and a litre of oil a year and the turbo spools up fine with the kind of power I'd expect from an 86 BHP engine.

I've put it down to possibly a small leak in the feed or return pipe but does anyone know how easy it is to change these pipes?
I suppose it could be misting off a breather pipe but other than oil and filters I've never dug that deep into the engine as it starts and runs fine and no oil deposits on the drive.

Every MOT I tell myself I'll clean it up properly and try and identify exactly where its coming from but never do.

Essentially if its an easy job and not expensive I'll tackle it....thoughts??

Cheers in advance

Gareth
