Shello007 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 OK, I know that axle boot horse has been beaten. Mine are fine, but after spirited driving there's a weird burnt grease/oil smell that I get. Can't figure it out. Checked beneath car and on the cross member (passenger side )http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/16/ugagaba5.jpgthere was some grease, weird and green in color. See attached pic. That's looking up from below.. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shello007 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 ^Rotfl. The question is why only after spirited driving the flatulence persists? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyJagaru Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Tighten the bolt at the leak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shello007 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Unable to determine where that oil is coming from. Dont think it's that bolt Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojon Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Possible sources of a leak there include: Banjo bolt feed for turbo and avcsOil drain tube from turbo split / damaged (likely)Coolant supply to turbo (in your picture this looks fine)AVCS Hardline crackedTurbo oil feed hardline cracked (Top of turbo)PCV assembly or line cracked and leaking down. My money is on the oil drain tube being damaged and when the oil flow and pressure picks up from the "Spirited Driving" the leak becomes more prominent. The oil looks like it is coming from that transmission bolt due to it blowing back. There should be no green color to pure oil, if you see green you also have a coolant leak around there somewhere.

JmP6889928 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Powerwash the spot to get it clean (avoid the coils and all electrical) so you can determine where it's leaking. Then look for the fresh leak. You could also remove IC and see if there's oil in there and TB hose. That would indicate bad front turbo seal pumping oil into intake when you drive it harder. Any smoke after spirited driving when you restart after it sits? If so, most likely front turbo seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Trendz Inc. Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 looks like turbo oil drain hose. have fun replacing that one, took me forever WITH a new hose and with the turbo not even tightened down(was installing bnr16g). Clamps are a pain to get on, but I also used hose clamps vs stock spring clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
