Leaking turbo oil drain hose - Perth-WRX.com

Hi all,

Had an oil change done this morning and when the car was on the hoist, we found that my turbo oil drain hose is leaking a bit of oil.

Now, is there any particular way to change this without having to remove the turbo, or is that my only option?

Cheers

Turbo must come out to get to the hose.

Yeah, because the factory rubber turbo drain hose is made in China

Of course not, but the china turbo its mounted to contaminated it, thus the loss of fluids you're experiencing.

You could try a worm drive clamp instead of the pissweak spring/wire clip they have.
It's an awkward location and not an easy thing, but it can usually be done without removing the turbo.

maybe just keep it off boost or locked up in the garage?
