914, Turbo oil leak
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
9 years ago
Hello,
I am new to this forum, I am from Quebec city Canada and own a Ultravia Pelican PL on floats with a Rotax 914 plane/engine have 108hrs TTSN.
Here is my problem, I bought the plane in flying condition in USA and brought it to Canada on a trailer. I decided to clean it up over winter and had the turbo sent to a shop to have it stripped ceramic treated and then they re-assembled it with a new bushing/seal kit even if everything was pretty much new. Now the problem I have is when the plane sits for let say 2-3 days it starts leaking oil between the hot/cold sections. After about a week the turbo literally fill up with oil as I can see it in the air filter and exhaust side. I have checked if the flow was coming back from the scavenge tank to the main oil tank by removing the main oil tank return line from the turbo and I get a continuous flow. I am wondering if anybody here could have an idea where to look to find the issue?
Here is what I already done.
Check for return flow at the main oil tanks.
Replace the banjo bolt spring and ball with new parts.
Eric.
