Hi everyone.

I have what I believe is a split Turbo Oil Hose on the Drivers side. It's the one next to the water pipe. I have uploaded some pictures in the hope that someone can confirm what this hose actually is tho i.e.Turbo Oil Feed Hose, Oil Return feed hose...

 

When the engine is switch off after a drive you can see little puffs of oily smoke coming from the bottom of this hose onto the hot turbo.

 

Also if someone would be kind enough to tell me if I can get a replacement in Silicone, braded or even original that would be great!

Don't know if Mike at MJP would do these...

Thanks in advance people...

 

 

 

 

That's a water coolant hose for the tub. The oil is a hard line that comes in at the top. Loos like a brake line, the return is a large say 16mm diameter tube on the underside. Some good quality 8mm water hose will replace that fine and dandy.

Thanks for the info Z32bolt!

I always thought the water coolant hose was the one next to it and just in front on the bottom picture with the rubber hose going into the metal pipe!

The two pipes labeled with yellow in the pic are the water feed and return. The oil feed is the one with the heat proof tube over it going into the top of the the turbo core.

Thanks z32bolt! Your an absolute star! Just been out to the garage to have another look and checked under the Z and sure enough there is a tiny puddle of water on the floor directly below that hose! Thanks again for all your help!

No probs. of you want the silicone one, or anything else on there for that matter, the offers still open.

Just for future referance, because its done now. You don't have to replace those kind of pipes with oem, as i say earlier some 8mm diameter water hose will do it. Just take an off cut to your local hydraulics/hose place and ask for some high quality hose the same Id as what you have. I replaced all my turbo coolant lines and bypassed my throttle coolant lines, with Goodyear hose for less than that one piece from Nissan.
