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.

Im sure it leaks when it is on. Obviously it is leaking on the cold side

fuck yeah

like a house is on fire

what is the cause??
new seals and bearings

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #7 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:53:06 PM »

what turbo is this? what size oil line? restrictor?

b20beast · « **Reply #8 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:55:02 PM »

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

b20beast · « **Reply #10 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:10:03 PM »

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?

b20beast · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:11:35 PM »

dont think i nneed a restrictor

line is -3an and its a journal bearing turbo

car has not been boosted

b20beast · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:17:21 PM »

what size restrictor ?

b20beast · « **Reply #13 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:18:41 PM »

why would it leak oil without any pressure?
with car off

b20beast · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:26:41 PM »

i am not missing a bolt
bolt is tight

and how likely is it that the seals blew in 5 minutes of driving?

b20beast · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:34:43 PM »

hmmm
anyone with a good answer?

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.

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.

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
