Turbo Leak

[Adz2332]

Hey all

I was pulling the clutch out the car on the weekend on a hoist and saw one of the turbos ( -5s ) were leaking from the rear on my 33 gtr

I havent noticed any smoke or anything, and it isnt leaking to bad.

The leak is coming from the rear of the turbo.

Is it a simple fix of removing the turbo and changing the rear seal over?

Where can i get it from etc?

Are you sure it is leaking from the back and it's not the return pipe that is leaking. If not then from what I remember it's cheaper to replace the turbo than rebuild -5's

i didnt get a good look. but its not blowing smoke or anything so i didnt think it would be to bad.

Ill check that cheers

Its always the lower turbos that has issues on the GTRs. mainly because there isn't enough room left for the drain. See if the turbo has abnormal amount of shaft play, if not check and make sure drain pipe is kinked, blocked or siliconed all over.

If its been like that for a while and you've been driving it then it will need new seals.

It will more than likely be blowby oil, pull the intake off the turbo, clean it out (nearly all ofthem have oil in there)

Install an Autech style catch can to help prevent it from happening again,

You may also have to clean the cooler out

Hey DVs what's the best way to clean out intercooler? Honest question think this might have been half my issue with decreasing power I get a bit of blow by though
