Oil leak around the front turbo..?
Hey CL guys,
Ive been trolling around here for about 3 weeks now and Ive used the search button for all my problems (1991 Soarer with 81,000kms its a 1J btw) up until now so I finally took the time to register and hear the solution to my problem.
I'll try to keep it simple, anyways I was doing some errands when me and my brother noticed a slight oil burning smell lingering (I kept pressing the scroll button to do the system check and it kept coming out okay), didn't think much of it than when I parked the car I noticed a monster oil puddle from under it.
I popped the hood and noticed oil leaking from around where the front turbo oil lines would be. Something tells me it would be one of the rubber lines following - 15474A, 15492 or possibly one of those stupid little hose clamps.
(Pic might be too small heres the link) - http://www.*******.com/parts/p_J_199...CPVZ_1701.html
the site doesn't want their name in it I guess?
but its toyo diy. com with no spaces.

I found the hose....I'll let you guys in on the solution for future reference. The hose is 15474A.
I tried to pull the hose off but it was so brittle and stiff it just snapped off into pieces.
So I decided to snap little pieces off at a time with a pair of vise-grips until it was all gone. I replaced it with a piece of 3/4inch radiator hose
I used vasoline to slide the hose on since its near impossible to get your arms in there.
If your one of the few unlucky people to have this hose break I recommend replacing it every 20,000km's as preventitive maintenance
Since it is right by the exhaust housing I assume it is susceptible to wear and tear from hot and cold extremes.
