The scavanger pump draws from a sealed reservoir in the sump via a pipe through the block/sump mating face on which an o-ring seals the pipe inside the sump. My bet is that the o-ring was missing on that engine allowing the scavenger pump to suck air which then caused the drain to overload the turbo seals. That the pipe is described in the parts catalogue as a crankcase ventilation tube may not have helped.

I do not remember this, but it's seems about par for the course!

RRS 3.0 blowing smoke (lots of it)

I couldn't quite recall Greg's name.

I only became aware of the o-ring when reading the WSM for the sump replacement.
