I dont think oil comming out of there is good i would be finding out why there is a oil leak is there any oil comming out of the BOV ?. At the start of the year i had oil comming out of my plenum it turned out i had cracked the ringland on a piston and it was rebuild time for me i hope this is not the case for u:goddam:

There are two hoses coming from the back of the rocker covers.

One connects to the other. Disconnect the hose on the left ( from facing the front of the engine) and look for oil residue in the pipe. Start her up ( she may run rough) and look for oil leaking out , give her a few quick short sharp rev's.

This is blow by. The worse it is the more expensive it is to fix.

Some is normal.

If your still unsure see a mech.

naa there is absolutely no "smoke" the performance is still as good no loss off boost or nuthing nothing comeing out of the blow off valve no oil in the the hks ram pod but this tiny little leak coming out of a seal that connects the plenum and the pipeing the blow off valve is situated on i think im just gonna have to get it professionally looked at.

thanks everyone for there input though

hey everyone i got it checked out and it is the oil seals in the turbo they r just starting to go so if i baby it for a while it should be alright but i still have to get it fixed and coz its ceramic i gotta go the whole hog just wondering who people use in perth for turbos ive priced per4manz he said 1900 i then went to turbo tech and they said 1000-1200 which is better but if i can i wouldnt mind getting it done under the grand mark so if anyone nos someone it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks phil

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
