73386, Oil leak and turbo kit related
Posted by eclipseman1999, Apr-22-04 05:45 PM
Alright as most of you know I have a small oil leak from between my bedplat and block.It is a small one and I probally loose 1/4-1/2 quart of oil a month.My question is would it cause more damage if I install my hahn stage 2 kit now and remove the engine a few months from now and seal the bedplate up better.

I couldn't see it being damaging to the turbo but I would find a way to get that leak fixed for good if it were me.

You just have to motivate us to help you fix it. We can have it pulled, fixed, put back together, and installed in a weekend. But if anymore of my tools come up missing someones getting an ass whupping :-p

I have 3 sockets of yours John, and I'm missing a couple items from my socket set too. I'll have to check it and get back to you. If only we had an actual garage. We could keep all the tools there, and maybe run servers for AZ2GNT. Make it a central base or something. :P
