[Vwdiesel] Turbine blade nicks

[Stephen Kraus]

After doing a leakdown test on the head just now, yes. The oil pooled while
the engine was shutdown.

I sprayed some cleaner with the head laying on its side and let it pool
into the valve cavity, and sure enough, after an hour or two, when I turned
it over, the #2 intake valve had a big long streak of cleaner coming out of
it. Must not be seating correctly.

The rod isn't bent as far as I can tell...the turbo will no doubt have to
be replaced though. Sadly I'm stuck for now, don't have the cash for a new
turbine.
