Title: Wheres all this oil from??
Post by: Airz182 on March 08, 2014, 12:13:51 pm
Hi, started off this morning doing oil and filter change,  this is my 1st turbo'd car so not to
Clued up on what does what!
Anyway whilst underneth it i undone the under tray, and noticed alot if oil leaking from this pipe (see pic)
Is it a boost hose?? And how come it would be leaking oil? I carnt see any vusable splits in rubber hose or any cracks in metal hose.

 Ived only owned the car just over a month, the car is supposed to be stage 2?? At first it felt quick, which
Is understandable as its my 1st turbo motor, and felt very quick
In sports mode, but now it just feels like a normal gti, could this be my problem??? Thanks

Hard to tell with these pics as not very clear. However the bottom pic looks like one of the turbo pipes. Check the joins round to make sure they are not loose. Then see if you can get some betters pics

Looking at the pics now i get what you mean! Lol
The pipe does seem loose, at both joints. Where the rubber goes into metal hose

Does it need a new pipe or can the clip things be replaced?

A little bit of leakage its quite common on the lower boost pipes.

As above mate. Quite normal. Seperate the pipes. Clean it all up and reassemble
