my car is leaking oil and it seems to be coming from the turbo. just wondering what i could do with $1,500. im totally clueless when it comes to turbo repair and stuff.. $1,500 - pricetofix = MONEY TO SPEND ON CAR!! what are my options?

 

Well for a start, take it to someone who might know what's wrong with

And if it turns out to be the turbo you can buy a second hand one (TD04) for < $200.

 

Yea take it to a shop or mechanic. Most shops will diagnose the leak for free of charge

 

yeaah GST is 5 miles away from the house so im taking it there. i'm crossing my fingers they aren't extremely busy. i still gotta call in and schedule..

 

turbo? maybe your hose just not tight enough? just bring it in and check it. they wouldnt need too long to figure it out whats wrong with it

 

Since you're planning to spend $1500 on the car anyways, why not upgrade the turbo, injectors and get a tune?

 

those where my thoughts.

 

yeaah thats what i was looking at, but first things first have to figure out where its leaking. if its the turbo, then im good to go for upgrading but still i gotta see how much it cost before i get too excited.
