Having a look around the engine bay last night and noticed that one of my HKS dump valves has what looks like an oil leak , where as the other one is completally clean , any body have any ideas why ???

I would think there is oil leaking from the turbo... :(

I had a horrible feeling that could be the case , anyway of testing or finding out if this is the case

 

Car still runs as well as it ever has.

 

getting married in 6 weeks i wonder whether the other half would be willing to give up her honeymoon for a couple of sport 500's :rolleyes: :D

How long have they been fitted?

I get a bit of oil in my hard pipes but it is normal to a certain extent.

If it's building up quickly then I would have thought you would be smoking quite a lot.

Just clean it out and see what happens.

 

It can only get worse but doesn't really affect performance until they eventually give up.

Not sure the car is an import , the mileage says 60k but that could be a complete load of bollox.

 

would say though that the drivers side turbo looks brand new where as the passengers looks quite old and it's the passenger one that has the leaky dump valve.

 

Will take them off at the weekend and clean everything up.

 

Also not getting any smoke at all

Replace your PCV valves and breather hoses ;) You don't get oil in the intake from blown turbos or at least very rarely. Sounds like the breathers are blowing crankcase vapour into the intake because the PCV valves are jammed.

 

HTH

Cheers for that Andy , it just so happens that i did the group buy so have a set with hoses ready to go on this weekend , will see if that sorts it.

 

Andy did you get my mail ????

Well I replaced my PCV's only a couple of hundred miles before the engine went tits up so maybe mine had been cured too but I never got chance to find out.
