my ex has a very slight oil leak coming from what appears to be the bottom of the intercooler. Its not sucking that much oil in according to the dipstick but, i am getting nervous.
What am i looking at for cost on a turbo rebuild? Is it better to just get a whole new one?
thanks in advance. |

Jared,
Oil in the housing of the intercooler is normal.
Is oil leeking from one of the fins or at the boot connecting to the intercooler?

Thanks for the reply, I found out the same thing. Its normal, thanks to the crankcase breather coughing up oil in there.
I am just going to take it all apart and clean off my rubber boots and re-tighten them down.
Im glad its normal, very thankfull. However, in a VW TDI if you have oil in the intercooler you have issues. Previous experience led me to believe i had a problem. |

Jared,
How old is the truck? They make boots that more resistant to the oil and will hold up longer. If the boots are older that 3 years you may want to replace them.
