View Full Version : Oil leak from SS line?

The SS oil feed for my turbo is leaking from somewhere. I'm feeding from the oil filter housing, but I can clearly see the oil coming down from the turbo side. Could the braided part of the line itself be bad? I don't understand where it would be coming from up top by the turbo. Any ideas? Turbo is a 14b and car is a 2g. As far as I can tell the turbo is still good, no blue smoke from exhaust.

I'd check the fitting where it connects to the turbo before anything else.

I had a line get kinked once, it leaked from a whole section of the line about 8" from the turbo. It was super weird, just kinda seeped through all of the braided SS very slowly, but surely. Check your fittings to be sure, otherwise ya, replace the line ;)
