Turbo

Post by thirdrail »

Talk about having a bad day, yesterday as I was crusing to go fishing I got a low coolant alarm, when I looked for leaks I found one by the raw water pump. I knew this couldn't be the cause of the low coolant and continued my search. Found the water heater leaking coolant so I cut the hose and bypassed it to get back to the dock. After I completed this fix I noticed several drops of oil in the bilge under the turbo. I cleaned this up and headed back to the dock. When I got there the drops of oil were back and seem to be coming from somewhere on the turbo. Anyone have a clue what this could be. I also pulled the raw water pump and the water side oil seal was in bad shape and needs to be replaced

Might be nothiing. Drips from the inlet of the turbo are only a nuisance most likely.
What engine? Got pics? Got an Airsept that needs cleaning?
