Help OIL Leak???
i just installed my k26 turbo today to replace the older turbo. after 30 years of baked on bolts and other things i finally got it replaced and installed. i dont know what the peice is called but it the peice that right on top of the turbo with the 2 bolts and has a small gasket on it. the little gasket broke so i threw it away without a replacement and just tighted the bolts up and used the "gasket making silicone" from autozone. After i started the car it started to leak right away out the sides.

is this because it specifically needs that gasket? and where do i find this gasket?


ps. is this the peice? and its the turbo drain? will a new one stop the leak?

That is the oil feed for the turbo. You can just buy some gasket material and cut one out. I would stay away from silicone on anything that is involved with the oiling system. I once had a Datsun that had silicone block a passage and snapped the cam. You could even use a cereal box for the gasket material in a pinch.

It needs a gasket in there! It has high pressure oil in there to lubricate it

^^What he said - at 3 Bar you have 43.5 psi give or take. Most likely it is leaking because you do not have a gasket.

But the exact same piece below the turbo doesnt have a gasket? Only the top one does?

They both should have a gasket, but the other side is not pressure fed, it is the drain line.

It wont add any performance the stock parts work just fine for the stock turbo!

Those kits are more useful if you plan on putting a non stock turbo on there!
