What color is the liquid and how much comes out ?

Have you just recently boosted up the turbo with that bleed valve?

Is the car running at your desired boost level (not over boosting)?

If boost is at the level you set, it is the blue bleed valve that is bleeding/leaking air out to make the extra boost, very normal :D.

If you are unsure replace the hose connected to the actuator and bleed valve

Hose is connected to the turbo actuator, has to be air :D. Unless there is something drastically wrong, then this will be the least of his problems :lol:

I wasn't sure if he was trying to point out some fluid on the pipe or just saying that area has a hose leak.

Also I just saw the pics of your 2 beasts Al verry nice. Good Ol Purple one wins hands down lol.

Purple XA coupe is my mate's :D. Car is awesome, especially when you consider he finished it 9yrs ago.

I pick, speed, handling and braking any day :D

it's not a large amount.. it's small amount of leaking.. after run da car for long period of time.. when i look at it.. the liquid was leaking..

Does it seem like the liquid is comming out of the hose or is it falling onto the hose from somwhere else?

Sounds like OIL to me.

Check your OIL and COOLANT lvl's to see if they are dropping, if they you have found what's leaking, just need to find where.

Best take it to a mechanic

lol AL, thinking of this post you made.

hbs2jh Good luck with the car mate, i hope it's just a small repairable seal or somthing like that.

I suppose it's a good thing that you have cought it while it's just a small leak.

Let us know how it turns out.

i took to ADVAN performance today..

and the leak was from INtercooler piping.. -.-//

it was dropping down from the intercooler piping where has the joint.

i have to replace the rubber part..

he quote me $80-$100 to fix it.. but i didnt' have money so couldn't fix straight away..

it is bad to have oil leak from the intercooler piping??

i just hab to change the rubber joint and tight it up..

Yes and no...............

Ideally you should only have air in you ic piping. Having enough oil to leak at the joint means you car has excessive blow-by and is not at it's healthiest. The oil will also be going into you intake system, thus causing you to loose power.

1/ Fit a big catch can (oil/air separator).

2/ Remove all ic piping and fmic, then clean them thoroughly.

3/ Start saving....... :P

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
