Saw some oil coming out of the cold pipe that comes out of my K31 up to the S300. Took the boot off that comes out of the S300 and had lot's of oil in it. Not pools of it but the boot was wet, and the turbo fins and surrounding area were all coated too. The kit is less then 2 years old. Was thinking about upgrading turbos anyway (R700) and was reading in there instal instruction manual at the very bottom all highlighted it says "When idled for any length of time some oil may leak from the turbo.
If the performance/boost is satisfactory and the wheel is not touching the housing
(There will be some small movement), the excess oil is not a concern.
Simply wipe with a clean cotton cloth and continue use."
Why on earth is that, when idleing the oil pressure will be lower, hens less pressure on the seal?
I have been ideling the truck for about a half hour every morning while waiting for my crane to warm up, is this why they are slobering?
