Turbocharger oil leaks?
Problem Statement
What is Turbocharger?
A Turbocharger is a turbine-driven forced induction
device that increases an internal combustion engine’s
efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into
the combustion chamber.
How it Works?
A turbo is made up of two halves joined together by a
shaft. On one side, hot exhaust gasses spin the turbine
that is connected to another turbine which sucks air in
and compresses it into the engine. This compression is
what gives the engine the extra power and efficiency
because as more air can go in the combustion
chamber, more fuel can be added for more power. Oil Leak
Turbocharger rotates at a RPM of 80,000 to 150000 .
• When a turbocharger is
installed correctly, it should
NOT leak oil.

Pre cleaner
Air filter partially blocked can develop excess
vacuum or negative pressure leading to suck of oil
from turbocharger compressor side.

to make sure
there are no
leaks present.
