Turbo oil line leaking?
I've just found this. Late single pump diesel auto (if it makes any difference).
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ruK5Y25qahHjqQkVA Photo is looking at back of engine towards the front. Top of engine is at bottom. All due to camera orientation. To the left is the new water pump that was fitted. Have cleaned up the block and surrounding oily gunk - seems a little more gelatinous than oil - maybe had spilled coolant in it from the water pump change? I have run the engine and do not see oil spraying out everywhere. Even after giving the engine some revs. Would I be right in think the banjo connection is the guilty part here? Maybe only under pressure / load it is spraying oil? I have lost some (about quarter of a dipstick). Is it worth simply changing the washers / seals? If the turbo oil feed / drain pipe (assuming it is) is faulty, it seems that the pipe is NLA. Would a second hand part be a good idea to fit? Cannot see to find others with this issue, so unsure about the reliability of it (lack of threads says it must be generally reliable?). |

If you've run the engine but can't, at the moment , see a leak then perhaps running it a big longer will help you locate it. It must be very small and the dip stick might just be showing that oil is being consumed elsewhere.---

Just to update this as I forgot to.
New washers sorted it. Needed 2 x STC 2378A (from Rimmers). Just replaced them and ran up engine. No sign of oil spraying even with 3000 revs. Went for a drive and no sign of oil spray. Mickyboy sent me a replacement pipe, so I have got that, just in case I need it in future. |

Pirtek are very good at making pipes in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
