Hey everyone I appreciate any help or advice here. I am not a mechanic and I have also read a lot of the other threads on similar issues, but I’m trying to wrap my head around some of it.
I own a 92 80 series with the 1HDT engine. Yesterday when i got home from work and parked after about an hour of being home i let the dogs out and noticed what appeared to be an oil leak on ground underneath the turbo. I didn’t see anything on the underside of the vehicle and there has been another high mileage car sitting there as well the previous weeks. I started to do some investigating and when i opened the hood i noticed some seepage from the intake manifold gaskets(pictures attached) i was wondering if this was normal or if i needed to go ahead and replace the gaskets?
during my forum search i also came across a lot of the turbo seal threads because i was searching about the possible leak. The oil was low but i added some parked on a level surface and there has been no leaking since I added the oil. The spot where i parked yesterday was on a slope with the turbo side facing down hill. i took some pictures of the oil around The intake side of the turbo as well to see if anyone could give and feedback. I understand that is not necessarily uncommon but wanted to know if it was an excessive amount and if I should look into the turbo more intensely.
I’ve been running rotella t6 5w30 this winter as well if that helps at all. All pictures i took will be posted below.
Thanks in advance!
