95 volvo 940 turbo oil line leaking

Discussion in 'Volvo 940' started by anatoli.milischuk, Jun 21, 2007.

  1. My mechanic told me that my oil line is leaking. What is the oil line
    and where is the most likely it is to leak? I am aking because I
    realized that my car is running out of oil about 1 quart at 2000
    miles.

    Can it be oil pump? or some seals? could it leak at the flame trap?

    The oil line to the turbo is a fairly common leak since it's under high
    pressure and experiences extreme thermal cycles. There's two places it
    commonly leaks, one is the banjo bolt fitting at the engine block and the
    other is the gasket on the top of the turbocharger bearing housing. Both are
    pretty easy to fix, if you're paying a mechanic to do the work, I'd have
    them replace the copper washers on the banjo bolt and the gasket at the
    turbo at the same time regardless of which is leaking. It's not a bad idea
    to replace the oil line as well but that's not absolutely necessary.

  3. Thanks for you answer, but I think put a confusing title.
    I am not sure about the turbo they will have to check it.
    The oil line to the engine is leaking that I was told when I purchased
    the car in Feb 2007.
    Maybe it's time to talk to mechanic but I was wondering what are the
    most troubled areas of oil line.

    I'm not sure what other "oil line" he's referring to, the feed line between
    the engine and turbo and the drain line from the turbo back to the sump are
    the only external oil lines the engine has. Oh there's also the ones to the
    oil cooler, forgot about them, they leak sometimes too but not as often.
