Today oil starting gushing down the back of the engine from the turbo area. Without getting under the vehicle and have oil pouring onto my face, what is the best way to diagnosis whether it is from the turbo or one of the turbo oil lines?
No smoking from the exhaust. Just fresh oil pouring onto the ground from the back of the engine. After the engine cooled down I was able to put my hand down the back of the engine from the top. The bottom of the turbo was sopping.
After the failed part has been found, is it easier to go in from the bottom or from the top?
Thanks
