I was changing the trans fluid today and noticed that the top of the trans was saturated with motor oil. Valley was dry. So I take my mirror and inspect the turbo pedestal. And sure enough, the top and bottom was oil soaked.
I remove the turbo and the pedestal is coated with oil. So I changed the both sets of o-rings.
What puzzles me is when I split the pedestal from the turbo, there was oil seepage between the exhaust housing and center journal. The exhaust housing and wheel was dry, no evidence of a bad seal.
So I put the turbo on and started it. No leak. So I pull it outside and clean the oil residue. My shop is 20 miles from my house. I get home, I check the turbo. There is oil on top of the pedestal :cursing:.
Is it possible for oil to leak out between the exhaust housing and center journal? I had turbos go in past and the exhaust side was oil soaked.
Oh yea, I have play on the shaft horizontally (in/out), nothing up/down.
