hoov100 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 my turbo has been sitting on the shelf for about three months i poured a little oil down the inlet and let it sit over night, then i come out to find that it poured out the exhaust housing, so i cleaned it all up drained the oil and re filled the inlet hole up with oil again and let it set overnight i come back to a nice and dry exhaust housing, could switching to synthetic have caused this? or should i go to a higher weight oil? im currently using 10w-30 mobil1 synthetic, but this turbo was fine before i pulled it off.

datman Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Same thing happened to me with a brand new holset, I think the pressure once it's running pushes the seals into place as now its fitted to the car I have no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
