ajh Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Working on a Defender with 200TDI; fairly low mileage. Engine is leaking oil all over the exhaust downpipe when on the highway; going slow no leaks seem apparent and cannot get it to leak while sitting where I can see it. The potential sources from what I can tell are 'dipstick', 'turbo return', 'turbo feed'. Not much else in that area. Removed crank breather and no pressure coming from sump; no pressure coming from dipstick tube (again at idle/sitting reving). Anyone run into something like this before? Not a lot of time left to fix this; and since it has to travel 250km today I really need to work out the problem asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Try tightening the Turbo return pipe, it is not uncommon for them to come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Also see If your dipstick is pushed into the tube far enough as in all the way home because it won't seal correctly if you have'nt, I've had that after working under the bonnet and disturbing it by lifting it slightly John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Turned out to be either the high or low pressure lines to the turbo; both were not as tight as they should have been. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
