Oil leak on inlet side of turbo

Postby troopie1987 on Sun, 29 Nov 2020 11:48 +0000

Hi folks, I have a 2007 KUN 16R and it has oil around the rubber hose that goes between the turbo housing and the inter cooler. It runs normally and has normal power, but under hard acceleration it’s blowing black ( I think) smoke.
I was thinking, maybe the turbo seals are leaking? It’s only done 140,000km.
Anyone had the same problem?

Do you have a catch can fitted? If not there is probably just oil built up in the intake from the breather system. Black smoke from a diesel is totally normal. White and blue smoke, not so much.
