Oil leak and turbo 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Mr X on  Tue Jan 15 11:25 CST 2002 [RELATED]

check the "racetrack" seal just under front crank for the cooler lines.The front crank seal,if leaking there, check the thrust bearing for movement,I've had a couple of these in the last 2 years show up(bottom end repair).also check the rear cam seals and front cam seals. it is not uncommon to see a small drip of oil under the turbo.the oil return line also likes to leak.(about $10 in parts).there is no flame trap in turbo engines but it does not hurt to clean the breather box .If you have alot of blow-by from the dipstick when the engine is hot with the car running,turbo or normally asperated 850, clean the breather box and check the vacuum hoses for collapse(very common)
