🔌 Function

• Weep or oil residue at the pipe unions
• Pipe found coked, kinked or partly blocked internally
• Turbocharger seals found oil-logged on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• A restricted return raises pressure at the turbocharger seals and pushes oil past them, so check the pipe is clear before condemning the turbocharger
• Renew the sealing washers or gaskets at both unions and check the drain falls the whole way
• Fit a new return pipe whenever a turbocharger is replaced after a bearing failure
