Good evening everyone!
Earlier this week the oil pressure light came on, I've had a slight oil leak since I got the car, but always kept an eye on it.
Today however I took the car apart to take a look at the EGR valve, which seemed ok, however we managed to break it in the removal process so going to have to replace that. There is a little oil inside the one of the air pipes and outside of the EGR valve was covered.
Down the back of the engine (where the turbo is located) the turbo itself isn't covered in oil but towards the nearside it is. The turbo whistles away as I expect it would, with no other strange noises.
Does anyone have any suggestions where the issue might lie? an oil seal in the turbo? I saw somewhere online that someone had a problem with the rocker cover gasket which created back pressure and caused an oil leak.
Any advice here would be very much appreciated right now! I've been told a new turbo is about £280 + VAT, but the location looks like a b17ch to get it replaced!
I've just had to replace the crank pulley, and since owning the car I;ve had to do all the brake pads, discs, electronic handbrake, and various other "little" jobs. I don't want to give up on the car!!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post!!!
