All of the sudden, my truck is leaking a lot of oil on top of the engine. as near as I can track it, its coming from the turbo oil drain, leaking upwards of a quart every 100 miles. The only thing I can think of is the sudden cold snap has screwed up the turbo oil drain somehow. That's about the only thing I can see it could be. IP/cover has only the normal amount of grime on it, the turbo oil feed looks normal, but there's a 1/4" deep puddle of at the back of the valley cover. I would think that's too much oil to come from a valve cover or CDR...
I don't even know what's involved in the turbo oil drain plumbing. Is it that cast aluminum chunk that's bolted to the back of the intake plenum, with the tube that drops down through a grommet in the valley pan? What parts do I need to order to make sure I only have to make one order? Are the grommet and any other gaskets/seals still available?
