Post by: Markyed30 on August 09, 2014, 05:24:01 pm

Right I bought a pressure test kit connected it up but was pressurising my crank case air coming out of dip stick
Put it all back together and started it and burnt off a good bit of oil, Googled and alot of people have did the same what do I need to bung to stop this and do a proper test any ideas??

Connects at turbo and tests for leaks under pressure like this

You can test it like you have & remove the oil cap or test in sections

pipe from turbo then blank off the throttle body pipe also blank off breather pipe during the test

Pressurising the crankcase may point to a failed PCV

Iv got a PCV revamp if I remove the oil cap it won't work as it just spits air out it
