Re: Oil leak around turbo

Post by pgabrielle »

i have a 99 c70 that i just found a leak, it appears to be coming out the turbo intake up front. the boot that connects the intake to the turbo in the rear does have a small amount of oil on it, could this also be a pv problem?

This one?

If so, and it looks like mine, yes, your PTC nipple (the thing with 2 hoses coming out of it) is clogged. Take that hose off and give it a good cleaning.
