Turbo Leaking Oil ?  Common Causes Explained.

#garrett
#duramax
#cummins

In this video I removed a garrett turbo off an engine while doing other repairs and noticed oil on the intake side of the turbo and in the intercooler.

A lot of people would assume the turbo charger needs replacing. That might not be the case.

Turbo oil leaks can be caused by many issues outside of the turbo. These include, incorrect oil level, high oil pressure, restrictions in the return line, excessive crankcase pressure and restrictions in the intake among other problems.

There might not be anything wrong with the turbo. I hope the tips I shared in this video help people save the cost of replacing a turbo that may not have anything wrong with it.

This video applies to any gas or diesel turbo system, cummins duramax and more.
