Leaky turbo seals OM617.952
Well, I came home this evening and noticed a strange marking on the driveway and once I got close enough to make it out, I knew exactly what it was. I have long suspected the turbo seals on my grey 300SD with a KKK K26 turbo of leaking into the intake due to the rich, burnt oil smell and spotting on the back end of the car. I think this finally proves that theory beyond the shadow of a doubt. I believe I revved the engine sometime last weekend and I don't even remember why but the pattern in the pictures clearly indicates some higher RPM exhaust flow. No OM617 in proper running condition blows oil out of the exhaust pipe; no matter how much you rev it up. Soot and junk, maybe, but this ain't no soot.
