I have an oil leak from my turbo. From what I can tell the oil is coming from betwen the exhaust side and the center of the turbo by the oil return line at the bottom. The turbo is producing boost and does not sound bad. I have a boost gauge installed and the boost spikes are not over 22psi. The ECU is regulating that back to 17psi. Is my turbo shot or soon to be? The original turbo broke the shaft, but was boost spiking past 30psi before it broke. Is there anything I can do now to save it? Is there something as simple as a seal or gasket that can be changed? The dealer replaced the original turbo under warranty, they said this one had a warranty as well...think they will honor that and fix the car even though my extended warranty is expired? (of course, that is why the turbo is leaking oil now) Any ideas would be apreciated. This turbo only has about 45,000 highway miles on it. Almost 89,000 miles on the car. Thanks!
