If you see a LOT of oil in your intake, then that's a good indication that your oil seals are failing. There will always be some amount of oil in the intake going from the charge pipe all the way to the manifold, that's normal. It's worth checking the PCV Valve and get it replaced before the turbo to see if that was the cause.
@@ncopp4358 Hey I need help can't find a proper answer looks like you are the right person 😅. Service found there is oil leaking from the hose between turbo to intercooler. They said they will change the hose and it sounded stupid to me. They did not tell me why there is oil there shouldn't be oil in the first place. Do you think I have a bigger issue?
@@asims9453 Yeah, typical boost leak. What is happening is that oil vapors flow into the charge pipe and condense on the walls of the intercooler/piping and collects over time. If its just a bit of oil, it totally normal. In fact it unavoidable without a catch can. Since turbo charged vehicles have positive pressure, some of it end up in the crankcase of the motor and the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation valve) needs to vent that pressure or oil vapor back into the intake to be burned. Your shop is probably making a good call here. Personally, I like to see it for myself before I greenlight any repairs. But this sort of a common issue on some models.
@@ncopp4358 thanks for the great explanation. I want to tell you what happened before. Just 3 months ago my car mixed the oil with the coolant water due to oil cooler part failure. They changed the oil cooler and flushed the parts. The problem is, this happened while I was driving so I drove around 70 miles without getting any oil error or warning. When I finally stopped and checked the oil there were none. And after half an hour, check the engine oil light turned on. So do you think I damaged other parts as well? Like turbo? Engine head gasket? They said there is nothing else wrong but I feel like, car is not as powerful as before and heat of the engine is getting high too quickly but not to the high levels it stays at regular levels. And finally do you think I should sell this car? It's a 2022 model car. I scare there will be more stuff come in the future
@@asims9453 Woah, that really sucks. For future reference, when the oil light comes on, it means that there is NO oil circulating through your engine. Did the engine make weird or unually louder than normal noises? There is probably a decent amount damage on the whole motor, especially on the turbo. It will probably have to be replaced. Depending on the car, it may not be huge job But if it is running, there is a slim chance you might be able to still get your money's worth out of it but knowing that the car is still overheating is a major concern. That will damage the headgasket with time, and when it fails, then it may not be worth repairing at that point. I would personally find another shop willing to run some tests and (Like compression testing) to find the current state of the motor and deduce if it needs a new engine or just a new turbo. And maybe take it back to the last shop to figure out that overheating issue, it could be a simple repair but shouldn't have handed the car back to you with an issue like that. After all that you can decide to keep it or toss it. As for power loss, that could as very well be that intercooler piping you mentioned earlier. A boost leak can cut the vehicle power in half if its severe. But now knowing the recent failure, I would guess that the oil issues will get worse with time.
I have this issue i press gas pedal no respondind like should be also in Uphill gear 2 or 3 Looks like goes 3000rpm and empty after that stays only at 60kmh not Passing that Also when i plug in Flowmeter it smoke alot white smoke What is Concerning me its also outside Turbo i notice in my hand leak 😢
Now after knowing this.. How can one justify weather oil is consumed by engine wear or turbo wear ?

What is your car model and mileage ?

@@TIIRONC5H sound like your turbo damage or faulty.
@mohdkitt9083 i think turbo leak oil idk bro
@@TIIRONC5H is that cause your engine oil also decrease ?
