Oil leak LP Turbo, 2012 D3 XC70

Post by XC70moby »

Hi All,

New to the forum and looking forward to being part of the community. I bought a 2012 XC70 D3 AWD (the one with the 2.4 diesel) three months ago with 100k km and love it! But I have an issue.

I noticed some oil leakage when changing the tires and I think it is originating from the LP turbo on the fresh air exit. I have added some fotos for reference. I am wondering how bad this is, what the root cause is and how i can fix it.

I have already researched the issue and figured it could be due to the PCV system. A glove test showed very slight positive pressure from the oil cap at stationary.

I would really appreciate your input!

No one can offer any advice on this? Ive been to the garage and they told me its common for the D5 to have some oil loss around the turbo. Can anyone confirm?
