turbo leak ?
I have a 2005 f-250 diesel Oil seems to be dripping where the rubber boot joins the end of the turbo exhaust.My oil level has not changed . I took it back to the dealer and was told it was the oil sweat from the turbo. Is it normal for it to drip ? Help

I had an oil leak after a Ford dealer replaced my injector #6. The wired thing is that the leak or (spray) of oil was on my oil filter, and hood area above the oil filter. I told my nephew (who works at different Ford dealer) about the problem and he came over that after work to check the truck and found the trubo pipe just a little loose where it returns to the intake manifold. The black plastic pipe appeared to be tight be he pushed it on a little more and cranked down the clamp super-tight and the "spray" of oil ceased. He said that the turbo does leak or spray a fine mist through the turbo system during normal operation and the residue just gets burned up in the engine. If the residue finds a way out of the pressure side of the trubo system, it will appear to be an oil leak. Hope this helps!
I frequently use a high pressure sprayer (CAREFULLY) on the engine when at room temperature and the compartment components 50% of the time I wash my truck to keep it clean. It does a great job and keeps it looking nice.
