Oil leak - Pure800, PVC, or something else

If you let it run and idle for a bit after cleaning the mess, might be a concentrated area that might help you designate the issue.

That's pre turbo, there shouldn't be any oil there at all.

Replaced the gasket inside and the leak stops.. for a few days and then it gets past the seal again

I would find out where the oil is coming from.

It’s just blow by, everyone has oil there but it’s getting past the seal for me

I don’t have oil there. Seems like you have it all figured out though, good luck!

I’m trying to figure out how to stop the oil from getting out without having to by an aftermarket intake..




if you fast forward to 1:58 you’ll see his is wet in the same spot

I’ve been chasing down an oil leak on my A90 with a Pure800. I’m getting ready to pull the turbo but before I do I figured I’d run it by the group.

The car appears to have oil leaking past the seal on the charge pipe but the turbo itself is clean, no smoke, runs strong. The car has a fair amount of crankcase pressure and I’m running a vent but still have a decent amount of oil blown past the vent. Definitely more than I’d like. No catch can on PCV or CCV as I’ve seen mostly negative results from others.

I assume it’s a bad seal on the turbo but any additional thoughts before I pull the turbo?

Hey did you ever track down the root cause of your oil build up? Like a good boy, I used the search feature and found this thread . But it ends with you about to do more investigation. Wondering what you found.? I’ve got Pure 800 also.

Today I installed an Injen charge pipe and when I removed the stock pipe, there was more oil than I expected in the same place you saw it. Not a ton but I wasn’t expecting to see any. I also had a small amount under the turbo on the pan but didn’t see any on the turbo itself. I cleaned everything and went for a 30 minute drive. No leaks noticeable afterward. Will keep monitoring, but no noticeable oil consumption and no unusual smoke with catless DP.

Thanks.
