Leaking oil (lots!)
I have read on here and been told that a common place to leak oil is the turbo oil lines and the oil cooler. I seem to be leaking a bunch under the turbo (assuming its the oil lines on the turbo) Any one know the part number of the turbo oil line o rings? I want to order some parts from here and want to get those too. how about the oil cooler o rings?
I took the car to the wash today and sprayed the underside with a ton of purple power and the water gun. Its much cleaner under there (for now). I found a valve cover gasket in the spare parts box that came with the car. Ill replace that when I take to cover off to check the valves. lastly I am thinking of dropping the oil pan and replacing that gasket too. Is this common to leak? Its only a few bucks to buy so I figure it cant hurt to replace and try to combat my oil leak mess. any other common places to leak that I can easily replace? It kinda looks like there was some oil leaking off the ac compressor. I cleaned it up and a day later there was some fresh oil ready to drip off the compressor again. Wonder where that is coming from?!?

However, many times leaks in this area are the result of oil that gets into the intake system and pools at the turbo inlet. It's fairly common on high mileage engines. Try to isolate the source of the leak before doing a bunch of work for nothing. |

Here on peachparts they list 2 o rings on the turbo. one is 64 cents and the other is 84 cents. If I am taking it apart to look close for leaks and also to clean the intake, why not just replace the o ring? I am already putting in an order on here for a bunch of other odds and ends. Even if its not leaking, I would rather spend the 2 bucks for the orings and put them in the glove box because chances are at some point ill need them. I am just wondering what other o rings are there that might need to be replaced on the turbo side of the motor (seems like that is where most of the oil is coming from)
Thanks for the tip on the oil in the intake. I take its from the CCV?
