Oil in Turbo
I have found oil in the turbo charger of my 02 7.3L diesel. 60k on the truck and 5 years is up 9 July. Took it to the dealer and they replace the boots and that was it. It is still leaking, even though the new boots did reduce the issue. I am mechanically challenged so let me ask a dumb question: am I right in thinking that the turbo is basically a sealed system and that any oil found in there should not be there and replacing the boots (inter cooler hoses?)actually only keeps the engine clean on the outside but does nothing for the problem. It looks to me as if there is oil on the inside of the turbo that the turbo needs to be replaced because there is a leak somewhere in it or coming into it? I have an appointment at 7:30AM at the dealer and know I am in for some kind of a hassle (although I pray not) that I am not really equipped to deal with. If I am right, it is too bad the truck doc is not close to me (WA) to take my place at the dealer Monday morning.
