Oil Leak From Filter Housing

[Coxsey]

My wife has a mkII 1.9TDI on a 51 plate.

 

It has just started losing alot of oil. on investigation it appears it may be coming from thr oil feed pipe to the turbo at the filter housing end.

 

Has anyone experianced this before a sudden leak from a previous good seal. was only replaced last year when i changed the turbo.

 

Is there any other point it could be coming from?

 

 

Thanks.

Hi Coxsey

 

Not too sure on yours, but is the oil feed pipe conected with a banjo bolt ?

 

if so poss the washer has got a split in it, take to bolt out and try and get a

copper washer (same idea as the sump drain) and replace it but becareful

not to over tighen the bolt

Hi Radiotwo,

 

Nope not connected by banjo but directly into housing with pipe sealed by an olive. ;)

 

had one last year but the garage has changed systems so they dont have a record of the part ordered.
