EXCESS AMOUNTS OF OIL

[BIGWOOD]

JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED EXCESS AMOUNTS OF OIL AT THE BUTTERFLIES IN THE THROTTLE BODY, IN ALL OF THE PLUMBING BEFORE AND AFTER THE TURBO, AND AT THE INTERCOOLER. IF ANYONE COULD IDENTIFY WHAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THE HELP.

Oil Return Line has seperated as happens in all TGP's

You need to change the line that retuns the oil from the turbo to the oil pan...


if you do a search you will find lots of people that have posted this question and you will find out more about it

:D

here is a post that should explain it further

I think that you may possibly have a problem with turbo seals.   I thought smoke at exhaust was from the return line separating.  Oil in the plumbing means that you will soon need to rebuild the turbo.

Take it from the old man that originaly brought it to the group about the oil return line, only 2 or 3 people have actually had it turn out to be the seals or bearings in the turbo. :shock:  :drinking:

I would bet its the return line.  After we intsalled the freshly rebuilt turbo in my dads TGP coupe and cleaned out the plumbing, it had oil in it a few weeks later.  But yeah...it needs a turbo... :roll:
