Maybe I'm over paranoid but I swear I've been hearing more turbo related noise lately so I scoped the pipes looking for anything obvious and came across this on the front turbo. Thoughts on if this ring can lead to a leak?

I would say in crack or aberration in the charge air piping can cause a leak esp when under boost.

Thanks gents - Still have factory powertrain warrant + ext. warranty so I'll let the dealership play with this one. Not to mention, looks like my PTU vent is leaking again.

How many miles on your SHO and has PTU fluid been changed?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

49k miles and I haven't had any luck finding someone local to change it. I would attempt it if i had the space/time.

A) Lincoln-only dealer, and B) BG shop most likely options.  Dealer, you may have to talk directly to the trans tech for results.

These guys might be who you need:

Telephone: (770) 635-2487

Just tell them to do a 3x drain/fill of the PTU with short "exercises" in between (any gear but P and N), if there's no drain plug available.  Show them a copy of the HOWTO if you need to.

Thanks buddy. I've already had the vent/vent tube replaced once - would be nice to know why it keeps puking. I've monitored PTU temps which seem to hover around 190 degrees after having a little fun.

Certainly doesnt seem hot enough to cause an issue.  You sure theres no trans fluid leaking in there?  Thats the other reason for the vent leak.  Thst would mean a seal or seals need to be replaced.

Anything is possible and would explain why it keeps happening.
