So I've been leaving oil on my driveway.

After some long inspection I have 2 oil leaks:

1. Power steering

2. Oil leak from block to turbo

I know the oil pressue gauges are fairly in accurate but I've noticed it was low at times. Check pic. That was on idle as I pulled into driveway after 15 minute drive. But it is often at that pressure most of the time at idle.

So the leak is running from one of the braided lines, from turbo to the block. I've read in other "oil leak articles" that it is common for seals to break down after an oil change as the old oil (if not changed regularly) breaks down the seal and forms a seal. So changing of the oil removes that seal. And I am 70% sure it has started happening after I changed the oil. I've stopped driving it now. But could this also be the reason for poor power output as the engine is leaking pressure? Could someone give me an insight into this and what is happening.

What is required, what parts are needed and can it be done by myself?

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
