Major Oil Leak!

[Micky86]

So New turbo fitted, new oil and coolant filled, injectors unplugged to prime the turbo. Cranked the engine 3 times at intervals for around 10 seconds. Got out to have a look round and a huge puddle of oil under the car to the right hand side in the sump area.

Being well and truly fed up i cursed a lot and threw in the towel. Any ideas what it could be?

I will be pulling it apart again tomorrow to see what I can find.

I'd have a gander underneath to see where the oil is coming from, should give you a clue

Oil banjo bolt on top of the turbo or the the sump return underneath. Did you replace the gaskets?

[Micky86]

I will be under there tomorrow MrDerv

Cont1204 I replaced the drain to sump pipe gasket and re-used the washers that came off the banjo bolt

[cont1204]

It'll be one of those pipes. Feet up for the night and go and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. Either the bolts need doing up a bit tighter or the return isn't sitting quite flush to the turbo.

Mine's leaking too after I changed mine.

Would be the most likely culprit, just seems like a hell of a lot of oil (at least a litre), especially after only cranking the engine 3 times.
