Turbo shaft seals 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be klaus on  Sun Jan 7 12:40 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello there folks!

The lower hose coming from the intercooler is leaking oil and after cleaning the throttle-body, I have noticed that the whole plumbing for the intake is coated with a thin layer of oil. Is this is a big deal ? There is no change on the dip stick so I figure that the oil loss is slight but am concerned about an upcoming huge bill to replace the turbo. The turbo inself has 170k kms but I hope that there is lots of life yet. The car runs like a top and there aren't any odd noises from the turbo.

Any experiences?

Thanks in advance

klaus
