oil in the hose leading to 3000 pipe

mkiiisupra · 03-09-2008, 11:51 PM

A bad seal in the turbo could cause it to spray oil into the pipe'n my hoses looked like that before i got a rebuilt turbo, no more evidence of oil spray afterwards.

Crack in the plastic part of the radiator?.... Is it leaking coolant?

Perhaps i am mistaken but i don't recall see'n any plastic on my radiator

radiator is plastic on the top and is barely seeping can't say i have seen a plastic radiator either. I dont have a lot of oil in the intake hoses but it is coated. Wondering if i have some time or will it be going soon. can't get car to boost past 6lbs . changed plugs today and they all looked good but the #5 plug has less wear the insulator under the electrode was still white were the others were brown maybe this cylinder is not firing correctly how do you check the coil packs? thanks

you have a turbo going bad. Get it fixed asap before you mess your engine up BAD. You prolly have alot of miles on that turbo thats in there. Take the pipe off that goes from your air filter to the turbo and you will see the turbo impeller. Take and try to move the impeller up and down and side to side. If it moves at all, you have "shaft play" in your turbo. If the impeller is able to move at all you run a risk of really messing up your turbo, or the impeller coming apart and getting shit into your engine. Get it fixed ASAP and stop driving the car. Oil in your intake lines is a turbo seal, and will always lead to turbo failure.
