2006 turbo leaking oil.....

[MAshley]

Ok so I have a 2006 3500, with a PR XB Pac exhaust brake, I manually turn it off and on, IE I also have a Kilby enterprises Air compressor, so I opted not to run Pac brakes controller. Anyway the truck is stock minus these 2 items, Well I found a larger size oil slick in the street yesterday :--) and the only thing I can seem to find a culprit of the leak is around the turbo, :{ See photos. Looking for some ideas, recommendation, and suggestions, before I see the dealer, :-{} I do use the truck every day, and do pull a trailer >50% of the time. Truck has 26K miles

Wait till it cools off, break clean it real good, let it dry and then start it up and watch were the leak comes from. Maybe the two bolts on the return tube are lose. Good luck.

Nope bolts weren't loose, not rock hard tight but snug enough to keep a seal, by the way the oil slick is about 1 foot accross and left for 24 + hrs.

Looks like a trip to the dealer is in order.



I wonder if the pacbrake might have blown a seal in the turbo?

well talked to the dealer, yup need a new one, under warentee they said. Waiting for the part no issues so far.



I will update after I get the new one in.
