Getting my car ready for inspection and oil is just dripping out of the bottom of the car. I have a 2007 MCS and I've noticed a lot of hesitation. So I changed the spark plugs and coils and I did a Seafoam treatment. That helped a little bit. While getting the car ready for inspection we had it on the lift and noticed oil everywhere under the car (ordering a new oil pan seal because that is leaking). We took the air filter box off and noticed that it is soaked with oil under the intake. So we removed the hoses from the turbo and there is oil just puddle in the tubes/hoses. And as far as I know that should not happen. And we also pulled the slave cylinder out as far as we could without having to bleed the clutch, and it is wet with oil in there too. So will I need a new turbo?

also... The check engine light came on last week and gave me the code P3091 low pressure. I'm assuming my fuel pump is crap

 

Hello,

Sounds like you have some major oil leaks, do you have pics of these locations ?

Turbo inlet get flexible hose kit, vacuum pump oring, good-luck with replacement, I changed the pump in the end as its failure is an engine killer.
valve cover minor seeps just live with...but if bad replace seal at least old covers go bad anyway, might be loose gromits. if changing the turbo seal just take the front off better in the end,,, you can lower radiator assembly without disconnecting ac, on some boxes. oil pan good sealant works,, while oil pan is off see that bung for the plug so you cant get the oil out,,, suctioning helps,,, I finally added a side drain

 

The pictures of the tubes highlighted in yellow are the ones that have oil puddling up inside (and there is oil all over the back of my car from the exhaust)

The picture with the red circle is a picture of the intake. And on all the hoses and stuff under the intake is soaked with oil.

Unfortunately right now I can't get pictures underneath the car so that I can show you the oily mess under there. For right now all I can say is underneath the car it looks like I park my car in a pool of oil

Also I bought the car used and an extended warranty from the Ford dealer that I bought it from. My warranty covers the turbo. As for the fuel pump Mini put out an extended warranty for the fuel pump in the 2007-2009 models for a 10 yr, 120,000 mile warranty

 

Check blow by with oil cap off really good should just rattle around if it launches check engine compression for piston ring seal. the turbos inner oil ring seal can go bad rebuild turbo if necessary. clean whole intake intercooler to intake manifold once a year on an older engine. again any turbo work take the front off.

 

oh walnut blast the intakes and if the turbo comes off the exhausts too

 

You will have some oil in those locations. Do you have pics of the oil ? The inlet tubes will have a very light oil residue on the inside and the intake manifold will have some very light.

Oil below the intake manifold could be the valve cover gasket. Did you clean this and recheck the leak, or if the oil coming from the intake manifold connection ? More pics ?
