Oil Leak in Turbo's...

[my_01_S4]

Did a cursory search on both the forum and B5 S4 FAQ and didn't find exactly what I was looking for although I recall reading about this before.

It seems I have a dreaded oil leak coming from my turbo's (versus valve cover gaskets) and I'm wondering if there's a simple fix for this or will I be replacing the turbo's (or for the cost probably replacing the car)?

TIA

How bad is it? what part of turbo?

How do you know for sure its coming from the turbo, Everything is so crammed in there it could be droping from the valve cover or cam tensioner. ANyways to answer your question. You coudl rebuild that turbo, after pulling it, bUt i dont think it is worth it. You coudl also just buy fbrnd new k03's but they coudl blow any time also. I woudl just buy k04's and stick with tthose till you can get the rest of the mods.
