Oil Leaks 850 97 T5

posted by  someone claiming to be Tyler Smith on  Tue Oct 31 06:31 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have oil all over the back side of my motor. My first suspect was the oil return tube from my turbo. I have the new gasket and seal ring, but when I went to change them, it looked as though it was not the culprit. There is oil from the mid-section of the block down. I've only had the car for 12,000 miles, and right after I purchased it, I switched to synthetic. This is when I noticed the oil. Would that have anything to do with it? Also, I've got oil seepage on my front splash pan. The only thing I can see that would cause oil here is the lower intercooler hose, in which case I'd probably be looking at a turbo seal. Anybody have similar weepage? I'm not losing much oil, just enough to make a mess. Any help appreciated as always.
