hi guys

new owner of the liberty crd 2.8 2006
(bought it last january)
since then I have been reading a lot here,
I applied some mod like the ORM ,
installed a catch can
etc...
I am now running in trouble,
I have changed the seal of the oil return of the turbo,
and it is still leaking
any advice as I am out of idea..
thanks a lot

I will try to upload some photos

I don't know what that post is, but I wouldn't click on it personally.

You might try the "heavy duty" gasket from Sasquatch. IMO, well worth it:

Also, be sure it's not the return itself which is damaged. Sometimes hairline cracks can form and cause a leak.

The link is just to a picture of his turbo drain posted on a Google drive. It is safe to click on!
I tried to make it viewable in his post but had no luck.

thanks for the "heavy duty" gasket tip. make sense as the original gasket look very thin .
As I live in Chile, maybe it will be cheaper to manufacture it here.
any tips of what best material to use?
even maybe someone have the dimension of the "heavy duty" one ...

sorry for the link above, I just cannot find how to upload so I leave it in google drive for access

cheers

I plan to travel about 1300 kms this weekend..
and get to the chilean mointain full a fresh snow. and hardcore wether

I have done about 5000kms already with this oil change, and this leak..(thsi problem is from i bought the jeep
the oil level is still at full max so the leak does not seem toooo bad.

would like some opinion ..
As for the moment, I wont be able to fix ir before the trip.
