Ok I am finally ready to work in the shop. Thank you for the info about the turbo oil seal. I think this is the best place to start. One naively optimistic question: Is there a method of trouble shooting the seal besides taking the turbo unit off the engine?
A second question I've been pondering is what is the difference between an Inter cooled turbo and the type used on the C223T?
I have almost decided to give up the profession I spent fours years of college learning with twenty years of experience, namely digital electronics, and learning everything I need to know about diesel engines. I think or hope that diesels in small vehicles is the wave of the future. Again, I may be naive, but I want to start doing diesel conversions for my family's fleet of vehicles if I can master the diesel technology. I have done conversions, one engine swap and many many mechanical modifications. I'm no stranger to salvage and recycle.
