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

Nice pickup AL.

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

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
