66 series turbo

jdetig1 · Jul 29, 2013

I have a 1566 that dribbles some oil out of the exhaust manifold where the 2 pieces connect. It's not much but it's nasty and hard to clean off. What causes this? Is the correct term slobbering? Would a faulty turbo cause the oil leak or would there be oil on the intake side if the turbo was bad? How do I know if the turbo is leaking oil. I would like a 3lm-466 turbo so if my turbo is the culprit then I'm getting the 3lm.
Thanks

Light load use can make it drip like that. Does it clear up with a heavier load? If exhaust side ring is bad oil will come out and spot everything up, especially if it uses oil. May not be the turbo at all.

Nasty and hard to remove sounds like exhaust "slobber". Mostly water and soot with a bit of unburned fuel. If it was oil it would clean up easily.

Yeah it clears up under a heavy load. It does use a little oil maybe a quart a day working it on the chisel. Is that a normal amount of oil consumption? I thought maybe a faulty turbo was the cause of oil consumption.
