Minor Seepage At Bottom Of Turbo

[TrentGTR]

I got my car checked out (R33 GTR) and it states that theres a Minor seepage at bottom of turbo? Does this sound serious, should i be worried?

Thanks in advance!

the copper washer on the oil line is probably seeping oil, its not a huge job but requires some schill to do it properly.

Seeping what exactly? Oil or water or charge air?

depends if its the water line or the oil line. there is like 2 copper crush washers. so if one isnt crushed and sealing correctly it will leak the appropriate fluid. they say to change them after a turbo swap in most stores. i re-used mine n i have never had a problem. but maybe urs are a little stuffed. i went to randwick nissan to get that kind of stuff n they usually are helpful but i have a guy that gets all my shit. but u can try getting it there direct. if ur in sydney that is.

Ok well hopefully its a copper washer like previously mentioned. Its a prick of a job. If your mechanically minded and have lots of patience you can do it yourself. However before you wipe off any oil make sure you work out exactly where it is coming from once you remove a few pipes etc and have a clear view of the situation Just make sure you get to the actual source of the leak and not what the most oil is sitting on.
