Turbo Oil Leak

[DuraRaj]

:turbo:Took my truck in to dealer for some warranty work and to check on oil weep around the intercooler intake area. Tech informed me that according to GM it is a normal condition. Oil is caused by Turbocharger Compressor Seal leak. I don't know about a seal leaking to be considered normal... Thought I just let you guys know.

TSB attached.

Mine also has the oil residue on the pipe. Seems normal from what everybody else says... I don't know though.

You will probably have some light buildup due to the pcv system

From what I gather, if the weap is on the passenger side intercooler: there might be a missing O-Ring where the pipe goes into the Intercooler. Mines is on the driver side.

Tracker, I think your on to it. Contributing factor to weapage is the close system PVC. Some people are venting the system to eliminate problem. I'll be trying this to see if it stops the weapage...
