When my car is switched off, oil LEAKS out my garrett t3 t4, by the turbine side where you clock the turbo thru a bolt.
What the hell could be the cause

Seals could be going? Rip off the compressor housing and take a took.
-
new bearings and seals
but why would it leak when car is off?

Im sure it leaks when it is on. Obviously it is leaking on the cold side
-
i meant to say leaks on exhaust side
where to clock the exhaust bolts sorry.
only in and out play, no left to right

Your car isn't smoking like a crack whore?
-
fuck yeah
like a house is on fire
what is the cause??
new seals and bearings
-
what turbo is this? what size oil line? restrictor?
-
garrett t3 t4 60trim/ .63
-3an feed
1/2" oil drain
drain wasnt too good, so i clocked turbo about 45* and let it drain downhill.
not sure why oil will leak with car off and thru the bolt.
-
your shit got blaasted didnt it
-
not sure what you mean but i rebuilt it
new seals and bearings
how would oil be leaking when no oil is feeding inside the turbo?
-
dont think i nneed a restrictor
line is -3an and its a journal bearing turbo
car has not been boosted
-
what size restrictor ?
-
why would it leak oil without any pressure?
with car off
-
i am not missing a bolt
bolt is tight
and how likely is it that the seals blew in 5 minutes of driving?
-
hmmm
anyone with a good answer? :o
-
1/16 th is too big. Run a 1/32
-
why would it leak oil without any pressure?
with car off
dynamic seal
-
picures of drain angle

thanks
but it leaks only on the hot side
-
poorly clocked? If it smokes its the seals. What kind of oil are you using, also you need a restrictor unless you have a MASSIVE turbo to feed. Does your turbo sit very low? Pictures would help.

oh its not boosted yet..
hmmmm

oil is 10w30 castrol
but im not sure its a restrictor because when the engine is off there is no oil pressure
so why would it drop out the middle part of the turbing housing?

only in and out play, no left to right
Its fuckked, dont run it anymore unless you want it to eat the turbine, and compressor wheels up Pull it off and have it rebuilt.
-
UR SEALS are BLOWN get it rebuilt :somb:

I agree with this. Same thing hapened to me my turbo was leaking out of the hot side but had no shaft play, 500 miles later it has all kinds of play. the oil is leaking out of your turbine when its spinning but only pores out of the center section wen it stops moving. Get it!
theres no seals on the hot side just the shaft piston ring.
It looks like this

thanks bro
i replaced that as well...
what did you do to fix yours?
-
I went out and bought a new turbo. LOL
I haven't had great luck with old turbo's :-\
-
i sent it in by a pro to fix ;)

stop calling yourself a pro, you don't need to a pro to send your turbo to a rebuilder.
Just because you put the turbo together and *rebuilt* it, doesn't mean it won't have problems. Rebuilding a turbo is usually not a DIY garage project.
-
can you not read
i sent mt turbo out to repair by a pro
-
i got another bearing housing, cleaned everything up and it dont smoke on idle
i may need a restrictor becuz on high rpm it smokes
-
going by all the things you said, you need to turbo the search engine before you turbo your engine. good luck
-
Your a fucking idiot. You put a freshly rebuilt turbo back on the same oil system and your back again to square one. fucking install a stealthmode restricter adapter and call it a fucking day

the turbo was bought used
-
im gonna make my own!
braze the fitting with brass and drill a hole!
-
did you put a restrictor in? sounds like a big NO
youre still an idiot
-
haha i love it here!
-
Ok
So i put on a 0.065" restrictor and it still smokes out the tail pipe!
-
run no turbo at all and see if it still smokes
-
it smokes very slight
-
drain wasnt too good, so i clocked turbo about 45* and let it drain downhill.
not sure why oil will leak with car off and thru the bolt.
When the car is on, it BURNS UP before it can make it outside the turbo. What did you think happened to oil when it dances with 800*F exhaust gasses??
Also, if the chra is more than 30* from vertical (centerline of inlet & outlet) then you will create a puddling effect inside the turbo. This is another reason it leaks profusely when its off, although its very bad for the turbo while its running too. You can blow oil seals in under 5 mins with JUST a crappy drain, no restrictor, or having the turbo off-center. You ran it with 3 out of 3. BTW putting a restrictor in it now won't do shit, the seals are fucked and only a rebuild will fix that.
Learn how to use a turbo next time, thanks for playing. :-X
-
thanks bro
but how can the seals blow?
isnt it just like a piston ring?
wont it have to wear down?
-
seals are orings
no, seals are for clubbing
