Turbo Owners Please.

[Yorkshire]

Hoping someone knowledgable can help as I can't figure this one out. I have just bought a clio turbo and I love it. The only problem is the oil catch tank is leaking. The bolts were loose so tightened it all up but basically it seems to be under very high pressure as it's blowing oil out of the breather on it. Not even catching the oil it's in one side and out the other. Sorry if it's a dumb question but really have no idea and it's quite a bit of oil hence I am concerned.
Thanks in advance

What catch tank is it? Is it plumbed in correctly?

If it's blowing oil out the breather, sounds like ring lands/rings are fucked tbh.

It doesn't sound good pal

Thanks for your replies. Pipe comes from back of the engine to the catch tank, no branding on the actual catch tank. Obviously under some pressure as it seems to be coming out of the top of the tank as well. Hope that makes some sense

When you say plumbed in correctly could you elaborate please, it just comes from the back of the engine to the pot/tank

 

[Dan@SJM]

That's correct. 100% that's knackered rings/ring lands.

^^^^ Yep.

It would be very hard to plumb it up wrong, there should only be a bit of moisture coming out of it. If there's a visible amount of oil then you've got a melted piston.

Which car have you bought?

Sorry to hear a fellow turbo er with issues.

Look forward to sorting this out for you next week.

I had issues with my catch tank cause I had the inlet to the tank in the outlet port. I seemed to give more oil mist that way than when I changed it to have the inlet in the inlet port.

This was on a baffled catch tank.

I had oil coming out the catch tank under boost, it was a cracked piston.
