Good day,
For a very long time I have been reading along and got many extremely valuable tips from this forum. Thank you.
Now I have a question to which I have not been able to find an answer yet.
I have a 2008 J120 with a 1KZ-TE engine with about 150kkm. Since some time, I have witnessed some oil residue on top of the venturi coming from the intercooler on top. (see pictures). This is relatively new and I was wondering where the oil is coming from. Is this coming from a leak in the turbo that presses the oil through the intercooler or does it come from somewhere else?
As I live in West Africa, the mechanics here are not very well accustomed with these machines and just tell you: it runs, so don't complain. Come when it doesn't run anymore and we'll fix it. But I would like to be on top of things and prevent problems before they occur.
Many thanks for any suggestion.
Cheers, Ulrich
