Hi everyone,
I have some oil around the turbo next to the air filter pipe. I have attached pictures for better explanation. When I bought the truck (in February) the RACV inspection guy said that there was some "oil aspiration" around the turbo which he deemed as normal. Around 3 weeks later took it for service and mechanic said that the "turbo is pouring oil".
2.5 Months later I decided to have a look at it myself and see what seems to be the problem. I am not too mechanically minded but this is my "project" truck and am learning as I go. I don't like to stuff around too much mechanical stuff but can have a look around.
Please note that these pictures were taken after I cleared most of the oil.
Anyways, it seems to be leaking oil from the airfilter pipe (Location.jpg). I noticed there was a bit of a gap (Gap.jpg) so I decided to remove the pipe and try to push it more down. When I removed the pipe there was some oil (no gunk) sitting in the turbo which I guess is normal since turbo needs the oil. Anyways tried to push down the pipe further down but it can't. The gap still remains so I guess that is normal? (Close Up 2.jpg). Inside the pipe was clean and no gunk or anything like that.
There is oil all around that area and underneath as you can see from pictures.
All the oil is new and only done about 800km or so.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this issue? Is it an issue from the actual turbo? The turbo seems dry everywhere else but around this area pictured.
All help appreciated. Truck is 2006 Nissan Navara ZD30
Thanks
