Hi,

I have two spots where my engine is wet from oil... The first is at the connections where the turbo U-tube attaches to the air cleaner assembly, and where the air enters the turbo turbine. I do see some oil wetness around the breater tube (Im getting a new baffled one to fix this), but there is never an issue such as that the air filter is covered wth oil, except for a very slight film on the foam bottom end. Is there anything I can do for this?

The other issue is the connection that goes from the tube coming from the oil pan that attaches to the bottom of the turbo, right where the rusty (exhaust side?) and white metal (clean air turbine) side meet. The tube coming from the pan is clean, and the whole thing is pretty good right up to the point where there is the right angle connection going into the turbo. It has dripped pretty badly onto the wastegate in the past. It doesnt happen very fast, I dont go through oil or anything, and since Ive cleaned the wastegate 2000 miles ago, it doesnt seem to have any new oil on it. But the fitting in question is oily and wet. I suspect this is the o-ring, correct? Is there a way to fix it while leaving the turbo on the car? I would like to be able to at least do a quick fix in my driveway, quickly, before my next long trip.
I dont forsee this connection failing or anything, but if I could get it complete leak free, it would be great.

Any help woul dbe appreciated,
Thanks

JMH
