    turbo oil feed leaking

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi, noticed my oil feed line on top of the turbo is seeping a bit. Is there a crush washer inside of that fitting to stop the leak or does the whole line need replacement? Also just by taking out the stock airbox would it give me enough room to loosen that but on the fitting? Thanks.

    The oil feed line is a tapered fitting. No crush washer. just metal to metal contact. Try tightening it up with a 15mm wrench. You will probably have to remove the airbox to get a good angle on it. Airbox comes out fairly easy. The pic is from a F21L install.

    Thank u sir. I tried to get a stubby on it the other day couldn't tighten it much. Is it normal to have a little seepage around it? It's not like it's grossly leaking. Just a thin ring of oil around it.
