Hi,
I've just replaced my blown 15g turbo for another 2nd hand 15g.
It went on lovely, starts and sounds great with no smoke at all.
BUT,
I've noticed a slight seepage of water coming out of what looks to be a blanked off water feed???
There are 2 water banjos and 1 oil banjo + oil return flange, but there looks to be another hole in that area which has been pugged up with something???
It drips faster when its hot too!
Any ideas of a solution?
Cheers, Tom.

Yep there's a pressed in core plug, so I guess yours is leaking. No idea how readily available replacements are...that really does need a talk with a turbo specialist.

If you can cope for a while I will have a 15g for sale in about 3 weeks. Its in perfect condition. Its off my car and only coming off for a bigger one.
