The last few days the turbo has sounded louder on boost under load.
Checked the turbo and there is no play at all in the shaft, but there is oil, all pipes are tight and not collapsed.
Today driving to work, on boost I hear abit abit of a bang, and now the turbo noise is really bad, I can't quite describe,
Managed to limp to work keeping it off boost, runs absolutely perfect without a load so I can't hear where the noise is actually coming from.
Then I spot under the exhaust manifold on the left side has a fair bit of oil that I don't remember being there before,
Does the inlet/exhaust gasket leak oil when it blows and make quite a noise?
Would I be ok driving it back home 10 miles, slowly?
Oil level is bang on full and hasn't changed since I serviced it a few months ago
