SecaBoy Donating Members 203 Member For: 16y 5m 9d Posted 03/01/12 04:09 AM Share Posted 03/01/12 04:09 AM (edited) I had the same oil leaks as you mentioned... as ridiculous as this sounds, the oil leak seemed to fix itself after the 15,000km service.the only thing that I can think of is that maybe they use a thicker oil at the 15,000km service?also, I see you're in brisbane... dont bother with any other service center other than the one at Woollongabba..I went to 4 different ford service centers and they were all useless.edit: for the record, the amount of oil leaking out of a AIR TIGHT pipe join was stupid. if you ran your finger on any of the joins of the cooler piping, your finger would be wet with oil. I had a looking inside the pipe and it was dripping. also, it was dripping out of the top join on to my intake manifold...one service center just said that they'll tighten the clamps more so that it doesnt leak anymore... WTF!?!?! dont try to hide the problem you morons, just fuqn fix it!!! haha Edited 03/01/12 04:12 AM by SecaBoy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78373-fg-xr6t-anyone-else-have-many-problems/page/2/#findComment-1176209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 11m 11d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 03/01/12 04:36 AM Share Posted 03/01/12 04:36 AM That looks like way too much to be normal.. Pull the cone pipe off the front of the turbo and see how much oil is in the base.. Should be minimal..

That'd be between you and the dealer.. . There shouldn't be a heap.. I've uploaded a photo of mine after the cone pipe was taken off.. It's only a very small amount of oil..

Adam Here since the start...

That's where most of that comes from.

Just thinking that everytime my car has been serviced by a dealer it's come back with oil well past the Full mark on the dipstick.
