GRRR leaking turbo

Had the turbo replaced 700 miles ago by Lee Chrysler here in FWB... stopped today & thought I smelled brakes.... no... clutch??... no... OIL!!

Got up underneath & looked... the oil line going from the bottom of the turbo to the block is spewing oil... it's EVERYWHERE under my truck... the burning I was smelling was the oil on my exhaust....

going to the dealership tomorrow.. I think its fair to say they owe me the fix & a good under-truck wash right? since the entire underside of my new never been off pavement truck is now seeping in oil...

Keep it from rusting!! All those unfinished parts underneath would be coated, for a while anyway.

At 1500 miles I noticed oil on my garage floor coming from the right side of the truck. I took it into the dealership and they found that the oil line to the turbo was leaking. We removed the air cleaner housing, removed the oil line and cleaned everything up, re-tightend the line and two days later the the leak came back, but worse!!!
I am waiting for parts.........
It is a little hard to determine were it's coming from at first because it runs down onto the frame and then travels to the lowest point.
The first time it was running down off the lower control arm. Now it drips from the front crossmember under the oil pan.
Keep an eye on it. It does make a heck of a mess
Good Luck.
