advice please guys on saff
well i thought i was getting away with having a trouble free cos ,but i started it today in the shed and i noticed smoke coming out from around the turbo.now the car started first time no problem but when i gave it a small rev say to 3000 rpm whilst looking under the bonnet i noticed the where the turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold was wet with oil and when revved would weep a bit more oil.the car hasent been on the road in months and i was just checking it.
anyone got any ideas ,has a seal gone in the turbo ? or what do you think
all replies appreciated
cheers james

If the turbo has a few miles on it, it will just be accumulation of oil from being sat, that would normally be burnt off each day, it's just more noticeable that's all, cossie paranoia!!
There are no seals in the turbos, so a certain amount will always leak past.
