Hello guys ,

The small little oil feed on my turbo is leaking !! ,

When i set off (after warm up ) , and drive for about ten or so mins it leaks out the feed and down onto the manifold , causing an awfull smell and smoke comin up through the engine and out the vents when i stop .

Any idea of where i can get new seals from and how much they are ??

I rebuilt the engine myself so i expected a few teething problems.

Thanks :D

IF its that (usually the rocker seals) then its a banjo bolt with copper washers. so new copper washers should do it !

Even new rocker seals are no guarantee :(

You should be able to get copper washers from Halfords or and motor factors.
Best take the bolt with you to get the right size though :)

Also check that the pipe is not fractured where the ends are brazed onto the feed pipe
