Turbo Oil Leak

[FMJ]

FMJ, put your foot on the floor and run that puppy up the pass, it will either cure it or kill it!

It's not my truck...

But I think your right!

Looks more like slobber to me too! I'd get a passenger to ride and monitor exhaust smoke and go out and run the crap out of it, get that sucker hot. If you are blowing oil out of the turbo, the smoke will be significant!

I think your right as well Kenny, gonna get permission from Brad first!

I have seen this a lot when trucks are run at no load for extended periods. I like the idea of driving it but would probably keep my foot out of it for a while. I would run it at 35 or so for 10 min then go up to 40-45mph for a couple of hrs. I would listen to the turbo. Make sure it isn’t making any bad noises. I probably wouldn’t take it over 45 for a while just to be safe. Running it at moderate speeds will allow everything to "re-seat" faster and better.

FMJ:

Make it so!

What have we got to lose at this point?
Might as well see what happens!
