109800, Turbo leaking oil
Posted by weebo66, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hey guys I have a 420a with a Turbonetics T3 T4 turbocharger I can't seem to get it to stop leaking oil from the exhaust side into my downpipe I have a 5/8 drain with a 3/4 fitting on my pan so there should be plenty of flow. its mounted straight up and down my oil pressure is only at 40. I tried reducing it down to 20 psi and that didnt work either. Just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions I've also rebuilt to Turbo so I know all the seals and piston rings are good it just seems like it's not draining fast enough

center section straight up and down?
turbo new or used? make sure drain area not plugged.
Where is the drain in the block? sound be above oil level with engine running. as high up on the pan as you can get basically.

also make sure you crank case ventilation is ok. if your crankcase is getting pressurized then it will push oil out seals.
