Noticed small spot of oil on underside of engine. On further investigation it was coming from turbo boost pipe where it connects to intercooler and it was half dislodged. I removed the retaining clip to find one end was broken off. Since reffitting I have found on acceleration it pops off / bang loss of power/ white smoke out the back. New clip needed tomorrow.
My question is why is there some oil in these pipes? Also on closer inspection most of the lower boost pipe connections are weeping some oil, is this normal ? And lastly there is a small bit off plastic broken on the intercooler connection, if this is also contributing to the problem will I need to replace the intercooler or is the connecting piece a seperate part. How much ?
This is at pipe 17 on the diagram where it connect to intercooler
Thanks in anticipation.
