Oil leak since turbo refurb!

Skuxx · 2010-10-10 16:00:52

Well lads, Bought a second hand car about 2 months ago (tdi golf) and noticed a problem with the turbo, rang the dealer and they agreed to check it out! Said the turbo needed to come out and be stripped down because of a valve that was sticking but they would do it under warrenty! I was away so didn't manage to get it done…

Well lads,
Bought a second hand car about 2 months ago (tdi golf) and noticed a problem with the turbo, rang the dealer and they agreed to check it out! Said the turbo needed to come out and be stripped down because of a valve that was sticking but they would do it under warrenty!
I was away so didn't manage to get it done until last week and since I got the car back it has been dripping a small bit of oil! I've kept a check on the oil level and it doesn't seem to have dropped by any noticable amount but you can see the patches on the drive where the car is parked!

Just wondering would this be a line that wasn't properly connected up or is there any other possibilities??

I'll keep an eye on the engine oil level, I presume this is the same oil that runs through the turbo??

Thanks!

Go straight back to them and try avoid using until it's been sorted properly with no leaks.
