If the turbo is leaking oil into the engine then you have an internal engine problem. the turbo works off of the engines exhaust , therefore if oil is getting back into the intake from the turbo then it is coming from the exhaust. posible worn piston rings or bad valve seals. it also could be a bad turbo bearing and seals letting engine oil leak into the turbo from the turbo oil lines from the engine and blowing back into the intake.

I keep adding engine oil on my 2006 BMW 530i, engine has no leaking. Any help?

Check exhaust smoke color when engine hot. If there is white smoke, there may be oil in the pipes. Means the valve seal is leaking oil into the cylinder. Another way to check is to look at the spark plug tips. If is full of soot like burnt oil then the oil is leaking into the cylinders.

If yours is E60 turbo, check the presence of residue oil in both the exhaust and intake turbine. If there is, the oil seals in the turbo housing is leaking oil. They do sell service kits for turbos.

09 Captiva turbo diesel is leaking oil on. Turbo to engine is it a seal or something more thanks

there are two oil lines to the turbo
one line is a pressure line that delivers engine oil at pump pressure to the turbo
the other is a low pressure line that drains the oil back to the sump
determine which line is leaking and replace or fix and replace the gaskets or "O" rings

Noticed a bit of smoke coming from under the hood. Opened to look and it seems there's oil next to the valve on my turbo.

Does turbo need oil? Very much so. It has parts spinning at 30,000 rpms or so, and the bearings require oil to live. Clean cool engine thoroughly, and then run engine to find leak.

How can you determine if your oil leak is coming from your turbo on a 2002 volvo s60

Do you have a external leak or does your engine oil drop but you can not see a leak. My S60 had a leak and it was from the return pipe from the turbo to the sump.You can remove the belly plate and look from the bottom at the back off the engine.You will see the return pipe at the bottom of the turbo. If it does not leak at the there the turbo might be worn and it is blowing the oil into the intake.To check remove the intake hose and check for excess oil in the intake system.

My 04 VW Jetta blew thick white smoke from tailpipe after freeway drive. No indicator lights came on, all oil leaked out (after smoke started)... is this engine or could it be just the turbos? Right...

A new turbo charger is about $340, but you can buy the bearings and seals and rebuilt if yourself for about $100

It is not hard, and it does not take long to do.

I normally do not bother with synthetic, but with a turbo charger, it might be worth it. What really seems to ruin turbo chargers the most is not letting them cool off before parking.
Once you turn off the engine, there is no longer any cooling, so the build up heat will burn up the oil and seals.
Run the engine for at least 5 minutes below turbo levels, before shutting down the engine.

2004 VW Jett Turbo / Oil Light Blinks and making an alarm sound

you've either got low engine oil, or the sensor has gone bad, or you have a leak somewhere. The leak may not be visible if it's leaking into another part of your engine or into the transmission via the rear engine seal

Engine oil get less every two weeks in my pajero 4m40

Diesels do lose a little oil out the blow-by tube. If the engine temp. is higher then normal then you will lose more then normal amounts. If you are not leaking it then you are burning it, Possibly worn rings, head-gasket, or oil leak inside turbo. 68 MPH and higher doesn't sound unusual, is the engine still stock?
