I know cars leaking fluids is "normal", but there is some leakage from the intake pipe coming off my turbo, I would assume its oil. I have t28, is there a water line supposed to be running to my turbo? I see a in/outlet on my turbo besides where the return line is. I would guess my turbo seals are bad, and there is also smoke coming from that area after I shut the car off.

 

well, if you have oil in your turbo inlet its bc your turbo is leaking oil out the compressor and the recirc valve is blowing it back in... OR you are sucking the oil from the valve cover into the inlet tube in which case you need to run a catchcan setup to save guard against this. the problem with ingesting oil vapors is that it can cause damaging detonation.

 

yea its prolly just getting sucked through the valve cover, just get a catch can and see if that helps...and yea u should have a water line running from the block to the turbo and from the turbo to back behingd the engine by the firewall..

 

Where does the line running behind the firewall connect to?

 

to the heater hose pipe. its a rubber hose about 7 inches long
