Keep smelling oil after driving, take a look

Boggus · March 05, 2015, 02:17:30 PM

Coming from back turbo - hard to get a good shot but you can see it and smell it when hot.

Isn't there a TSB for this? What is it if there is. Would like to go to the dealer prepared.

2013 PP SHO with 31k miles

Is the top of that hose coupler saturated with oil? Hard to tell but it looks like it

Yes and further down there is more oil saturation. Pretty sure it's coming from the turbo

Could also be a split pipe at the clamp, Rich had this & posted about it. No TSB for it, the TSB is for the oil feed line(s).

IF you can with your hand when the car is cold of course and place tour hand around the rear valve cover gasket and check to see if there is oil in that area,cause 4,5,6 bank valve cover gasket are notorious for leaks,especially #6 spark plug well on the 13+SHO,let me know and keep us updated.Z.

I would also check for any codes set,any hesitation,rough idle,misfire issues besides the oil saturation.Z.

If the hose is indeed in tact and in perfect shape (i.e. no cracks or stress splits) then I wonder if a catch can would solve this.

If its the hose,a nice set off hotpipes are in order,will prevent any future cracking,splitting from happening,especially by the firewall,where the hoses are more prone to cracks,due to the heat.
