If the turbo is leaking, then I'm afraid it aint cheap. When looking at mine recently I was quoted ~$2000 - but that was to rebuild it. Interesting thing is though that some crowd in Syd sell new ones for $1600 + GST - I'll see if I can find a name and get back to you.

Have you got a catch can ?

Dave.
without a catch can these blow heaps of oil over the turbo and out the rubber intake joiners.
especially if the oil is overfilled a bit.

ok i got some pics now. i played around with the contrast and brightness a bit so u can see the oil very easily!! im hopeing i just need new hoses.. but im not sure until tommorow hopefully.. and about the catch can, as embarasing as it is im not exactly shore where it is or what it looks like :S
you can see in the second picture that the hose looks like its been retightend and its buldging out a bit so maybe its leakin out of the hoses because of that??

I would say that's normal mate. Fitting a catchcan will sort it out.
Just search the forums, there is a few pics of different types/setups. It basically catches the oil from the oil mist that leaves the PCV line. PCV is Positive Crankcase Ventilation. You will see a line from the rocker cover to the turbo inlet.

yeah i have just been reading a couple of those threads right now. do you know how much it would cost to buy a catch can? and is it easy enough to do yourself? or something for the professionals?

ive read that the hose sizes are 45mm on the turbo side and on the plenum side ive read that its 63mm on one thread and 70mm on another. just curious which is the right size.
