Hi all. I screwed up and put stop leak in the oil. Will this cause damage? How do I get it out? |

Change your oil. On a side note, you shouldn't be putting stop leak in anything. That stuff causes more harm then good. |

I agree, after using stop leak, my turbo has started whining above 2000 rpm. I changed the oil it is still whining. How do I get this out of the system? The turbo was already leaking oil but never whining sound from bearings. Anything I can do to save turbo? |

(32 oz.) in the motor oil and hope it will counteract the effects of the stop leak?  Good luck! & keep us posted... |

FYI: Your turbo wasn't leaking oil. That was from the CCV and is normal - if annoying. You may need to change your oil several times in rapid succession, but the idea of using Marvel mystery oil is also a good one. |

Yes, I did a few oil changes and added some sea foam. I actually already had the turbo checked out and they said it needed to be replaced. It did not whine before I added the stop leak, it just leaked a lot. I replaced the turbo and it seems to be running pretty well, and it leaks less. |

A turbo should not leak anything! If it does, you still got a problem!  I would still add 16 oz's of Marvel Mystery Oil to the engine oil be on the safe side.....

Where is it leaking from? Is the CCV connected? |

Yes, I have the ccv connected. I checked the leak location, a small amount of oil is accumlating on the skid plate. |

Ok... That is not really helpful. The skid plate does not use oil. Where is the oil coming from on the engine / where on the skid plate is it located if you definitely cannot determine where on the engine it is leaking from? |

Hi, sorry I checked the leak, It seems it is leaking down the turbo return line again. |
