Turbo steaming/smoking under load

[duncanrp]

Hey guys,

So I finally got my 03 legacy back together and started it. The first time I started it there was a bit of a leak on exhaust side of turbo so I tigthened the nuts and started it again and that issue was gone. I then let it idle for 10 minutes and decided to take it for a small drive to see how it went. I went 500m down the road using minimal throttle and noticed it steaming/smoking again. I managed to get it parked up and let it idle and the steam/smoke was no longer present. I had a look around for leaks etc and the only sign i could find was here:

that is a picture from around the oil return line. I'm not 100% sure but it kind of looks like it is leaking through the gasket possibly??

It's not residual oil from the initial leak burning off?

I don't think so. I think the initial leak was just exhaust gases escaping.

What exactly is your question? You can see where the leak is, just make sure the hoses are on properly and tighten everything up... try again.
