Turbo oil leak can people help??

Post by FrankB »

I have just noticed on my 1999 B2500 Mazda Bravo 4x4 that on the front intercooler turbo mount (I think this is what it is called) that there is some oil leaking from the right hand side hose whish leads into the cooler(?). Yet there is no sign of any oil on the left hand side. The ute is totally stock-standard and has approximately 120 000km on it. The reason I noticed the oil leak is because I had to top up the engine oil as the dipstick was only showing half and there are no signs of any engine leaks, only oil leaking from this right hand hose which has dripped over the turbo mount underneath it.
:?: Can people tell me what may be wrong with it and who would be the best company to take it to in Central Qld? Also has anyone had the same problem with their ute and what was wrong with it??

Cheers all info is greatly appreciated

Best bet would be get ahold of Mazda and check if it is a common problem
