g60 service- oil leak

Recommended Posts

hi i have just taken my g-lader out and have noticed there must be an oil leak in it (have not split it open yet) i can see oil in the pipes outbound from the charger and wondered what you would advise to clean out the pipes and intercooler. i was thinkin engine degreaser/ carb cleaner?

 

(anyone need any info on servicin the G-lader i used http://www.matey-matey.com/g60-rebuild-article.shtml but feel free to aask anything. it was very easy to get out)

if you hav'nt removed you boost return it is normal to have a small amount of oil in the charger and boost pipes as it gets recirculated from the breather, if you have loads of oil in the charger outlet and pipes, (as in dripping out) then you will have a blown out or worn out seal in the charger, usually the exhaust seal iirc.

there was a gathering of oil in the baffle box and all the pipes have an oily lining. what shall i use to clean this out and the intercooler?

 

also, if i remove the boost return pipe, block it off at the charger and put in a breather filter for the return, do i need a oil catch tank and ptfe lube spray?

 

thanks for your time
