my car is leaking oil from somewhere but ive not yet managed to find exactly where from...

a friend of mine who also has a Z20LET in his coupe said it could very well be the turbo oil return pipe?

has anyone had this problem before and know if its easily solved?

thanks

Turbos are often a prone to leaking a small amount of oil. What area of the car/engine does seem to be coming from.

oil caps are bad for seeping oil down the back of the engine, my 06 plate vxr has chucked a cap already

there smoke coming from the back of the engine, oils getting onto the cat and burning on there. makes me think it could be the oil cap. but then theres droplets of oil closer to the front of the engine so could be around the turbo area aswell

will be the turbo return pipe

ok thanks. i thought that this is what it could be after reading something in total vauxhall. seems like a straight forward replacement using a ramp
