I'm planning on buying a 1990 mazda cosmo. I got it inspected and the techs told me that the turbo's are leaking. I've been told that all turbo's for mazda's leak due to lubrication. I just want to make sure I'm buying a decent car and not having to rebuild the turbo. any advice?

 

If it's leaking oil, then the seals need a rebuild.

A turbo shouldn't leak

 

is it leaking oil? or air or what? either way only thing that should come out of a turbo is boost and the wastegate.

 

I mean, he double posted this and everyone said air or oil should not be coming out of a turbo... ha ha ha . I hope you did not buy it.

 

hahah yes I did double post it haha but hey, it got responses! and no I didn't buy the cosmo, there was too must at risk and I betcha it woulda cost me alot to fix that turbo. if I coulda found the parts. thanks again everyone for your advice

 

no problem
