KUN26R 1KD engine, turbo oil leak

[spartanlux]

Hi everyone,

Im looking at buying a 2010-2015 hilux. I had one inspected by a mechanic (2010 SR, 230000kms), and he said there was a oil leak from the rocker cover and turbo.

The leak from the turbo seems like its not excessive, but theres definitely oil leaking. I've tried to attach a photo but couldn't get it to work.

Should I bother with trying to get it fixed and working out a price or just leave it and try find another hilux to buy?

every car with 230k k's will have something wrong with it ,did the mechanic give you an estimated price to fix it go from there,

My Gturbo Grunter has been leaking for years.. Pretty sure I first installed it in 2017 and it's still going perfectly, albeit, its a bit of a dribbler. Some might argue that's why it's lasted so long
