Thread: TD5 Oil leak

Do a search on google at the bottom of the page for FPR or Fuel pressure Regulator.
Regards Philip A

Is it oil or is it Diesel, if diesel as mentioned above it will be the fuel pressure reg, around just over $300 for the new one and fitting, we have replaced 3 now and hope no more. If it goes to long the fuel gets into the starter and stuffs it.

Cheers guys , but it is definitely oil. I replaced the FPR a while age . Yes the leak looks the same but a different substance. Any more ideas??

Rocker gasket. They leak at the rear if the gasket was not installed corectly or maybe tightened incorrectly. Check it with the acoustic cover off. The FPR can kark it after a short time too or a line is leaking.

Mate iam looking at RAVE and seems the oil only exits the motor on the left side (turbo side) only so has me stumped the only thing is as mention the rocket gasket

Just found something, the dip stick is in that area, may pay to check that mate,

If it is coming from the left hand side I might suggest the turbocharger oil return line.
It is under the turbo and goes down into the block. Held in place by 2 5mm hex bolts with a steel compression gasket. The gasket costs about $3-4 is all . The work takes about a fiddly half to one hour. A small amount of leak from this item seems to make a huge amount of mess. The fan and slipstream seemed to throw it all over the chassis. cross braces, bell housing etc.....changed the gasket...(I actually didnt have one there) and its all good, cleaned up dried up no more leaks underneath.

no mate its the other side coming from around same area as the fpr so really narrows the search a lot more than around the turbo
