What Causes Turbocharger Oil Leaks?
1 Answers
Turbocharger oil leaks are caused by: aging oil seal rings, poor lubrication of the turbocharger, or turbocharger damage. First, inspect the oil seal rings. If the vehicle has been in use for a long time, some components may age. If the oil seal rings are aged, they need to be replaced immediately. The turbocharger also requires lubrication. If the internal components of the turbocharger are not properly lubricated, they can wear out easily. When the internal components are severely worn, oil leaks may occur. In such cases, the severely worn components must be replaced immediately, and lubricating oil should be added promptly. Normally, turbochargers do not fail. However, if the vehicle is involved in an accident while driving, which damages the turbocharger, oil leaks will definitely occur, and the turbocharger must be replaced immediately.
