What color is the liquid and how much comes out ?

[Al]

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 .

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 . Unless there is something drastically wrong, then this will be the least of his problems :lol:

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

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..

[Al]

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.......
