Im having a problem with my 997.2 Turbo, i think my right hand side turbo is leaking or something,
The pipe from the turbo which go to the engine appear to be have so many oil in itand on th inside of my intercooler

Since only the right side turbo have so many oil on it, the pipe on the left side is totally clean and dry ,do guys think its normal?

thanks for any help in advance

 

you mean euro driver side?

 

yes, my car is right hand drive
the air pipe that goes from the turbo to engine got engine oil in it

 

Sounds like your turbo is leaking oil bad and spewing it into your intake. Get it to the dealer asap. I assume it's under warranty so just go get it fixed.

 

thanks orygunturbo
do u know exactly with part of the turbo that leaking?
cuz the tech here in indonesia is really bad, they just guessing most of the time and dont know what exactly the problem is
i just got a phone call from the dealer earlier
they said my car were fine. they check another 997 turbo in their dealer , he found out the same think (has oil in it too) so the tech assume its normal

 

do not freak out, many of the turbos that I've worked on have had slight to moderate oil in one of those tubes while the other is perfectly dry. I would not worry to much about it.

also, with these forums take into consideration that many people just have an opinion, which often times is not necessarily an educated one. best of luck

 

Same applies to those who claim to work on cars...
Your turbos are not supposed to leak oil, I don't care what anyone says especially the amount the OP describes but heck what do I know. Keep driving with your oil leak, let it continue to spew all over your ICs so they are nice and coated with oil and don't cool. At that point, you will need all the luck you can get.

 

thanks dinorocz for the replay
so thats normal even if my car only has 3000miles on it?

 

It's not normal. I've seen it on a customer's 997.2 TT as well. Half a cup of tea full of oil inside the rubber tube right behind the turbocharger and oil all the way up to the throttle body.
The turbocharger must be replaced or you'll be getting a CEL in the near future due to contaminated sensors inside in intake system.

 

thanks stef for your info,
I will call the dealer to get it replace ASAP

 

They aren't supposed to leak oil but it is very common to have a thin coating of oil, but not a significant amount.

Then again, I assume you would know that considering you own the car and work on it... Oh wait, that's right, you're debating on getting one versus a GT-R.

Try not to be a total ****** bag on a forum when you don't own the car.

 

Read what the OP wrote: "appear to be have so many oil in itand on th inside of my intercooler"

It doesn't take a genious to figure out that there is likely a problem. Just someone with a reading comprehension beyond the 5th grade and an ever so slight bit of knowledge about turbos.

Sure bud, I post something that I thought was a problem, Dino chimes in and says don't worry about it and proceeds to take a jab at me saying my assessment is uneducated, and now you, calling me names and post nothing of value other than repeating what others have already said. Anything else intelligent you would like to add?

 

wow dude, a bit sensative. Did not mean to take any jab at you, it was more meant in general that most people on public forums just form opinions about things they know nothing of. I didn't mean you specifically. Take it as you'd like but that was not my intention. Getting into a pissing match on a forum is so silly and not something Im into, so lets move on.

 

Agreed. This is nonproductive. Posters should be able to post an opinion on the facts without another person calling them or insinuating some stupid name.

 

You do realize that it is feasible for others to have different assessments in regards to quantities and their descriptions right? I didn't realize that "so many oil" has a precise measurement, can you please provide me with the volume of "so many oil"? Cubic centimeters is fine.
