Technical Oil Sweating at Turbo ?

[reido2]

Hi, just had the timing belt kit fitted & water pump replaced plus a 5th year service carried out. One of the advisory notes was "oil sweating at turbo", is this something to be concerned with and what would be needed to rectify this ?

Cheers in advance.

Depends how much oil there is, try cleaning it off and keep an eye on it, do you have to top the oil up by a lot weekly / monthly? Presumably the sweating is at the joint between turbo and the hose at the joint where those horrible cheap n nasty Fiat clips clamp the pipe on? That may be on the loose side, a good quality worm drive might cure that, all depends on how much oil sweat and over how long.
