Oil in and around turbo 6.7

Diesel Man · #1 01-29-2008, 01:18 PM

So I was taking off the stock intake box to install my S&B intake and found a little bit of oil coming out of the turbo, not much but it just doesn't seem right. I also saw the turboblades and they looked like they encountered some oil and had oil residue on them aswell. The truck runs fine/smooth. Does anyone know if this is normaly found on these new engines/turbos, any comments would be appreciated. By the way this thing wistles like a Jet engine I LOVE IT!![sm=gears.gif]

Havent heard to much about that usually that comes from an aftermarket CAI when the filter is oiled and guys dont take good care of it...the turbo can suck in some oilbut never heard of it from the stock air filter

I've never heard of this either. It seems pretty bad that oil is touching the fan blades. I would think someonewould chime in with an idea and could give thier .02.

Oil comming out of a turbo is a good indication that it is fixing to die. The seal inside is bad and leaking oil. A little bit of residue is ok, but if it is wet with oil, I'd have it checked out.

Thanks CowboyBob I'll take it to the dealer on that note.

I think this could be a dying turbo, the dealer replaced it about 2 months ago, this leads me to believe that I just recieved a refurbished turbo that wasn't so refurbished?? However the vehicle runs fine I guess its just a matter of time.
