I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with their turbos leaking oil?....Both of mine are leaking, I was told when i got my clutch replaced. Has anyone had this problem? Im hoping it just a seal maybe?

 

errrrr........... turbo's are going bro

 

you need to get a better explanation of where they are leaking. Find out if the turbos themselves are leaking or if it is just the oil delivery or return lines. Hopefully it is the lines because that is much less severe. The techs may even be able to take you out in the shop and show you. If you are still skeptical, get a second opinion. good luck.

 

Well all i was told when i got my clutch replaced was that both my turbos are leaking...im having to wait untill xmas break to do anything so i wont be out of a car and having class

 

Are they leaking on the ground?
Or are they leaking into the intake?
Pull off the lower intercooler pipes & see how much is in there.
Some is Ok, especially on the drivers side.

If they are leaking into the exhaust, then you will have
blue smoke coming out that back.

If it's leaking on the ground, then the lines are loose, & just need to be
tightened. (not all that easy to get to).

Lastly, chances are it's the valve cover & valve seals.

 

they are just leaking onto the ground...so u think it wont be that expensive of a fix?

 

My thoughts are not on the turbo's.
It's more then likely the valve gaskets leaking.
When the valve train leaks, it's drips on the Turbo's.

If it is the Turbo's, then it's the oil lines, they would just need to be tightened.

 

how do you get to see the turbos...ive taked off the dust span under the front of the car and i cant the turbos from under there...if its a gasket will the repair shop have to do it or could i?

 

It's hard, you need the car up in the air & follow the DP's. You can remove the airbox, and look around the head, if there is a lot of wet gunk there, then you have a leak.

Yes, a shop should be able to fix it. But it's a BIG job. There are quite a few gaskets in there & there a PITA to get at all of them.


Honestly, if your shop thought it was the turbo's, then I would not take it back there. It shows they do not work on 2.7t's.
The valve cover leaking is a common problem.
