Rb26 Problem

[Stephen22]

Hi,

I just wondering does anyone here know why there is oil leaking from the front half of the engine.....I have attached some pic...if anyone knows what is wrong please tell me....

Also there is heaps of white smoke coming from exhaust, a pair of new Tomei turbo have just put in....

looks like the turbo oil feed/drain.

or front crank seel and or pretty much any seel on the engine

I think it is too but the hose looks like it isn't on properly I thought it would have to go right up and over the raised section on the metal pipe. Maybe look at a new hose and clamp?

the metal clamp with the hose should be pushed way further up on the other side of the lump on that metal pipe.

That line is the turbo oil drain back to the sump if it is blocked it is possilbly the reason for both problems - ie too much oil pressure from a blocked return pushing the seals back in the turbos and pouring oil into the exhuast.

then that only explain the smoke....how about the oil leak??I used a better clamp to hold that pipe nice and tide now...still got the leak....I am going to do the front crank seal tonite...will see how it goes..

did you extend hose right over the lip on the pipe so it seals properly when you changed the clamp? and did you clean up all the oil thats there at the moment so when it does leak again you can be positive of where it is leaking from exactly just incase it is coming from somewhere else.

If that hose is under pressure it is more likely to leak if it was not designed to be under pressure as I believe it is not. Some of the oil gets pushed into the exhaust and some gets pushed out past the hose.

For anyone that have time tonite......anyone want to come over to my place to give me a hand to find out what is wrong with the engine??I am in Brown Plains, south side of Brisbane...I am going to change to front seal first will see how does it goes...
