Mitsubishi Repair: leaking oil into turbo intake, intake pipe, valve covers


Question
im leaking alot of oil into the intake pipe comming off of the turbo but the car is not smoking at all. i dont think its a bad turbo so what else could it be?

Answer
Kody:So is your car using oil? I would say off the top of my head that maybe your valve covers are leaking. Have not worked on a lot of turbo powered cars so kind of in the dark here. Get a manual for your car, I am talking about a repair manual. Can pick one up at a parts store for around $20.00. It would help walk you through ideas about the leaking oil. You did not put down the name, model, year or the miles on this car. So it is hard to even guess. But you need to see if the car is using a lot oil or a small amount. And then start checking around the engine but get that manual it can help you a lot better, than I. Hope this helps and good luck!
