Leaking oil and antifreeze from turbo area
Hello,
I haven't got a chance to get the car up in the air yet - but after leaving the car sitting for a couple of weeks I noticed a small pool of both antifreeze and oil from under the turbo. The setup doesn't have but 7k miles on it (little over a year and a half old), and it hasn't been driven hard at all. It's a Precision SC60 BB turbo, from an IP kit installed by IP.
I'm worried that with both fluids present it's gotta be the turbo seal. But no clue why it would go bad so soon. Is there anything else - short of both fittings (oil + water) being loose?
Thanks in advance.
