turbo ?

QUOTE=t.j.g.]i should have left the hood shut end never opened it damit to hell

no just kidding
found a oil leak coming from that drian hole on top of engine in back on passenger side
its not coming from vavle covers so i would think that it is the turbo pedistal
leaking no oil on the waste gate eithier
well it looks like i'am in for some knuckel busting tool wrenching of a time
well when i get all the orings
went for a drive blue smoke is getting werser

it is starting to blow blue smoke all the time now and i noticed oil on the end of tail pipe. OUCH ![/QUOTE]

okay so i started removing thing to replace the injector o-rings and turbo pedistall o-ring when i got the turbo out i was looking it over and noticed i coud move the intake impeller up and down and side to side about a 1/16 to1/8 " is this normal or are my turbo bearings shot
anyone know whats up
if they are bad whats the best way to go new turbo or rebuild kit

Bearings are shot, you should not have that much play in your turbo impeller. Might as well go ahead and spend a little extra and get an upgrade instead of just rebuilding what you have.
