I see a lot of the turbo trucks with oil leaks where the turbo connects to the intake manifold. I'm not a diesel engine or turbo guru by any definition, but this seems to be way more common on these trucks than I would have guessed. What causes it? Is it indicative of a more serious problem than a simple oring/gasket leak? To fix it, does it typically require just new oring/gaskets, or are there other components that fail and cause it?
I realize every truck is different and it could likely be due to a number of different causes, but just looking for some general thoughts/guidance based on past experiences y'all have had. Thanks!
