oil leak

[ikp_77]

theres a mother of a oil leak started i changed oil cople of weeks ago new sump plug and washer its not comeing from there were could it be from s70r 1998

Could be the turbo oil return pipe, it goes from the bottom of the turbo to the back of the engine. There are two seals on it, one gasket type on the turbo, and one rubber O ring type on the engine. If these are worn/old a lot of oil blows out.

Best thing to do is get underneath and have a look at the back of the engine, the pipe goes into the engine just above the sump lip, if its coated in oil, then your problem might be that.

Get a steam clean of the engine bay done, give it a couple of days, then have a look, it's sooooo much easier to spot one then!

i would also guess at the turbo return pipe and gasket, very common really. Definitely the first place to check.

if it is these they are only about £3 or £4 for the parts including delivery generally

[ikp_77]

rufe do you sell them and is it easy to fit them

[ikp_77]

if this pipe is the problem would it affect the preformance of me car chears ie oil preasure and such

Hi Rufe can you pm me the prices of the turbo return items,

Gary

these are very easy to fit.
all you need is to remove the pipe is
2 x 10mm spanners
1 x 5mm allen key

best bet is to wipe the back of the sump and then rev the car up and then get under and look if you have a drip coming down the side of the sump


make sure the car is on axle stands or a pair of ramps wuith the back wheels chockked
