How to Prevent Turbo Leaks Oil?

Here is the greeting from Shanghai Shou Yuan Power Technology Co.,Ltd.

If your turbo is leaking like a faucet, it is important to determine the source of the leak and take necessary actions to fix the problem. Although oil leaks may seem obvious, they can often start off small and be difficult to detect. What are some signs that your turbo is leaking oil? Leaking turbo symptoms often include lack of power, misfires, and peculiar noises. Blue or black exhaust smoke is the biggest indicator of an oil leak. Other symptoms mentioned can be caused by a wide range of engine and turbo problems, but blue smoke specifically indicates burning oil due to an oil leak.

To reduce the likelihood of a turbo leak, take simple and straight forward measures that are neither costly nor time-consuming. Regularly perform the following steps to prevent future leaks and costly repairs or replacements:

  • 1.Inspect the oil system for blockages
  • 2.Ensure there are no leaks in the exhaust system
  • 3.Never use silicone on oil gaskets, since it can become detached and block oil passages
  • 4.Make sure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and the catalytic converter aren’t blocked
  • 5.Check to ensure the housings have the correct oil levels and are using the correct pressure

To ensure optimal performance, it is important to use high-quality turbo components that are in excellent condition. Always use the correct type and standard of gaskets, O-rings, turbine housings, and compressor housings. By following these guidelines, you can prevent oil leaks.
