Usually when oil is in the airbox, the bearing-oil seal is bad on the intak
e side of the turbo
-
If the engine is burning white smoke look-at the bearing on-the exhaust
side of the turbo.

Subject: Europa-List: oil leak
Date: Monday, May 18, 2009, 8:42 PM
we have just run the engine up (914) for the third time. After about 5 min
there
was oil dripping from the right hand airbox drain and the air filter is soa
ked
in oil. There is no apparent leak from anywhere else. The oil tank has neve
r
been over filled. The engine does not appear to be burning oil. It appears
that
it has been drawn up into the airbox from the turbo - but why the air filte
r
soaked in oil? The first couple of engine runs (couple of months ago) there
was
no evidence of oil leaking anywhere. Any thoughts?
Regards
Paul
