Has any experience of this?
DA40NG Austro 800TT
Our engineer has found an oil leak from the high pressure side of the turbo. He suspects Oil leaking into the pressure side of a turbo charger can only come from one source, the centre bearing seal.
I’ve not heard of this before. Any idea on repair costs and lead times in Europe?

Re: Oil leak from turbocharger?
Pretty sure this won't help you but reading the words "oil leak" and "turbo" - because of leaking oil my two year old DA42 has had something called banjo clips on the turbos replaced three times on both engines, basically every time it has been in the shop.

Re: Oil leak from turbocharger?
Hi Paul - What was the result of your turbo bearing seal leak? It looks like I am facing this on one of my Austro engines in my DA42.marioair wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 12:23 pm Has any experience of this?

Re: Oil leak from turbocharger?
My plane was leaking a bit around the Turbo... it was noticed at the first 100 hour... it seems to have gone away as I moved through the next 3 100 hours... and it appears to be gone now
So... I don't know
