Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) turbo leaks oil

[Summit]

my turbo is leaking oil from where the return line bolts to the turbo. is there a fix? there's not a gasket in there. i pulled the line and cleaned it up nice and a day later it's all oil again.

Gasket

Summit, there IS supposed to be a gasket there, so that's why you're leaking. It's rubber.



I'd get one from Cummins and if you have to call up and order it in, might as well get a couple of intake horn gaskets as well. They're cheap and handy to have around.

Summit,

Mine is doing the exact same thing. I don't know how long it has been leaking but I found the leak probably a month ago. It looks like one of the bolts has broken off and part of it is still lodged in the hole. I guess the only thing to do is take it to the stealer. I am planning on it but just haven't had time.

thanks, i'm going to the dealer tomorrow and will see about getting one.
