Turbosaver Leak

[aminga]

Anyone ever have any problems with their turbosaver leaking from the an line at the turbo. I had a leak I thought was coming from the -an adapter fitting in the turbo. Took it off, resealed it and now it's pouring oil out the 120 degree fitting on the line. Turns out that's where it's been leaking all along.

Remove the fitting and use a pair of really sharp side cutters and a mini sledge to cut the f'd up end of the hose off clean. Then re-install the fitting. The problem is probably where the end of the hose seals on the male part of the a-n connection. You will lose about one inch of hose

It is hard to see in the picture....what area do you think the leak is coming from...or not listed.

B. Right between the red and blue parts

I only two things I can think of is it was not tightened enough or it is a bad fitting.

 

[aminga]

It's tight. So.......

I kind of figured the fitting was bad.


I've had a minor leak since I put the turbosaver on . I assumed it was coming from the adapter into the turbo so I took it all apart last weekend and tightened it all up again. Now it pours.

What turbo....if it is a newer DBB.. Are you sure it is not leaking at the turbo end( below A) .....if that was tightened to much it will leak ....

It is a new BB but you can see oil coming out through the fitting
