I have a problem...on my turbo inlet oil feed line, the part where the flange screws into the top of the oil inlet of the turbo is leaking, i tried silicone sealant, and big o rings inbetween, and gaskets, and the gaskets the came w/ it, but it drips oil slowly still? anyone have this same issue, or any ideas?

 

post a pic.
im trying to think what it looks like, but i remember using thread tape to get all of that to seal. then again i was using brass fittings.

 

its circled around the oil outlet, but its actually the oil inlet leaking, but the same exact looking pieces almost, maybe this will give an idea, it leaks right where the aluminum looking flange connects to the turbo, right where the gasket goes....and this is an old turbo nt the actual one

 

theirs a gasket that goes their usually. i used a gasket sealer and a gasket combined.

 

+1. Using a rubber o-ring is useless since the oil will eat away at it. You need a gasket there. You can go to your local parts store and pick up a sheet of gasket paper and make your own if need be.

 

yeah i would say maybe you have a crappy gasket... agreed on trying your gasket combined with silicone sealant.

 

ive tried two stock gaskets that came with the flange, ive made my own out of that thick stuff u buy at the store, and ive combined it with gasket maker, and high temp silicone, which is near the same i think lol, its still a slow drip, i dont get it, but same dilemma, oh well

 

i wonder if it is cracked itself.

 

hm it doesnt look cracked , but idk, its also my second flange, lol, i hate this turbo
