Hi all, I've got some noises and problems coming from under my hood that don't sound right.
I just got through replacing my broken LSD with a new welded one. So far the transmission seems to be running great. However, no sooner have I got the LSD fixed I have a new problem. I've got weird noises coming from the exhaust/turbo area. Its sounds like a whining belt except it's coming from the middle of the engine bay. It whines during idle, it whines in reverse and it whines even more during acceleration. It is intermittent with intervals about 10-20 seconds.
When I bought the car the tech said that there was a leak in the drain back line of the turbo. Could it be that there the turbo has no oil? I also notice that once my turbo timer shuts the car off the turbo spools after the car has shut off. I don't ever remember my turbo spooling off AFTER the car has been shut down. Does the engine oil supply the turbo?
Any help is appreciated. My car knowledge is limited so if you have more questions I'll do my best to answer them. I'm pretty fed up with my MSP right now and I'm hoping this isn't a big deal and can be fixed by replacing a seal or gasket or something.
