The toy has developed an oil leak since the map/mbcRuled out oil cap seal and oil return pipe from the turbo. Nothing coming from the bellhousing but seems to be accumulating/dripping from a smaller pipe on the lower half of the inlet side of the turbo which connects with a union. It's minor but leaving a deposit on the road when parked. Is there anything else in that area could cause this? Haven't removed airbox/piping etc to investigate yet.
Any help appreciated as it's starting to become irksome.........
