I've just noticed an oil leak coming from somewhere around the oil fillerI think.
I 've just replaced the turbo and have been test driving the car.
While under the manifold I installed an oil catch can. I checked the new lines for the catch can and they seem fine.
The leak seems to start while driving,after parking a small puddle develops
but doesn't get any bigger after setting awhile.

Thanks

Seems like its related to crank pressure... did you plumb your catch can back in? What can did you use? Did you drill the AOS?

tconn

Yep I thought it was related to crank pressure also.
I am using the AMW catch can which has a line to the AOS and a line from the intake so there should be a vacum on the can.
The AOS was not drilled because my understanding is it's not needed if
you have vacum on the can.
The lines I used are smaller than the stock lines because that is what cam with
the can .
Are there seals on the AOS ?

Yes there are two seals on the AOS, you need to take to turbo off to get to them. But thats on the other side of your oil fiter

Oh crapp!!
I guess replacing the seals on the AOS was one of those ...I should while I'm in there......things.
Well I guess I'll pull the intake and take a closer look.
Thanks

Yeah it sure is one of those jobs. Also look at your dipstick seals, they are prone to leaking as well.

I've never had a problem with me dipstick leaking, then again I'm pretty carefull
as to where I put it !!
