oil leak
Hey guys I had an oil leak on top of the the turbo after I did my exhaust because I reused the stock oring. But I need a quick fix so I went to autozone and bought the correct size diameter oring from them but I was like a regular black oring instead of the sort of flat red stock one. My car didn't leak at all for about 2 weeks but now its leaking quite a bit now. Do you think that the cheap oring I bought is the culprit? I have ordered 2 more orings from paragon to change it out once it gets here.

had the same problem here. When i bought the new turbo i wanted a new ring went to the store bought one put everything together then i had leaks everywhere because it was to thick. It was actually sticking out so i had oil everywhere so i put the stock one back in and now it is fine

Are you refering to the oil inlet at the top of the turbo? I put some locktite 574 around the mating surface and O ring and so far (1000 miles) no leaks. That stuff is awesome
