Hi guys,
I was just out and about on a casual drive with the occasional blip here and there to find when I got home there was smoke coming from under the bonnet. So I lifted it up to inspect and after the smoke cleared ive found oil leaking from the turbo return line dripping onto the exhaust manifold Not only that but water seeping out the aeroquip fitting from the water return line also. The water leak has been like it for a while and I needed to change it as the hose is pulled quite tightly accross making the connection a bit weak.
What I would like to know is why the braided hose for the oil return has no fitting on the end of it and seems to be jubilee clipped over a flared pipe that runs into the turbo. This is where the oil is seeping out of, I could try and tighten it more but why has the turbo not got a threaded hole for a proper fitting?
Also I dont know how hot oil should get but it looked like it was bubbling out from the hose but I dont know if thats just down to air seeping past.
Thanks in advance!
