Nissan GU 3L Turbo

Post by Swerve »

Hey All,

Well started to install my UHF this afternoon and whilst in the engine bay I wasnt pleased with my turbo !!!

In the flat section was a nice pool of oil whhich is leaking from the turbo output ? so I asume the turbo is oil cooled from the engine and the turo seals must be shot if oil is pissing into the air output !

Steve

PS- Will be going to Nissan in the morning as I'm going 4Wdriving this weekend or was ????? Or do i drive anyway ??

Just got back from Nissan and they reckon she will be fine till next service (1800km away).

STill I don't like oil leaking from anywhere on my cars !! The chap seems to think it may be seals in the Turbo so well find out in 1800km or unless it kaboom earlier :armsup: new turbo
