I Went to the Hyundai service station and the Service Advisor said that the Turbo Charger has a leak and needs to be replaced. I just got the car(pre-owned, my first car) about 40days back and I am not very knowledgeable about cars. So I want insight from people on this. Can a turbo charger have a leak? Can anything be done to repair the Turbo Charger rather than putting a new one? If I get it repaired, How long will it last without any issues? Future problems, etc.?
A turbocharger can leak. Some of the gaskets might be shot and need to be replaced or a hose might need to be replaced. If the turbocharger itself is leaking and not a gasket then the turbo housing is probably cracked. If you get the turbocharger replaced it should last a good 20 years or so. The only thing that usually wears out on turbochargers are gaskets and thrust bearings.
