    oil leak from turbo V6 model

    Hi there,

    I noticed an oil spot where i park my car.
    [FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]After examining the engine it seems like it coming from the turbo pipe[/FONT]

    In addition, While driving with open windows hot air come to the cabin from under the car. I suspect it's the leaked oil burning on the downpipe.

    Check the drain pipe on the bottom of the turbo back to the oil pan. A leak there tends to drip onto the exhaust pipe.

    that's pretty cool when we have feedback and some thanks sometimes, when we help and spending time on the net for finding solution for a perfect stranger.
