Oil leak near the turbo, what is this?
Hi all, I have a lgt 2.5, and there is an oil leak near the turbo, and it creates constant smoke from the area, any idea what it is?
Thanks

might be your oil inlet line for the turbo, or the oil return hose, but thats usually under the turbo.

your oil feel line. replace the copper crush washers on it and double check that hardline for cracks, they always go out, if thats the case replace it with a stainles steel braided line for under 50 bucks.
