1997 850 T-5 oil leak 850

posted by  someone claiming to be wright 141 on  Wed Mar 26 11:03 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have already replaced the turbo oil return line gasket and looking under the car this time revealed that the leak is not near this area. I shipped the vehicle home from Europe and after 45 days of non-use noticed the car to be dripping a small amount of oil. This weekend, after a spirited drive through the Texas Hill country I noticed my car dripping oil like the Exxon Valdez. I have cleaned it up and notice that the oil seems to be centered underneath the turbo. The trubo oil high and low pressure lines do not appear to have oil on them or be leaking. Is there a pressure relief valve on the turbo that could be leaking or stuck open on this model? Do these turbos have pressure relief valves. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced the same indications and what remedy resolved the issue. The leak is definitely centered on the turbo charger and underneath it though.
