I have a new (to me) Yanmar 3JH2-TE turbo, and after running it for the first time in a number of months, I noticed oil coming from the hose that leads from the turbo to the air intake. Additionally, the air filter was pretty oily. My first thought is the seals in turbo are shot.. do they dry out if not the engine is not run (for ~18 months)? So just wanted to see if anyone else has experience before I plan to rebuild the turbo charger. Also think this explains the smoke (not significant, but noticeable) when the engine was running... Thanks in advance for any replies. Sean Conner C&C 34 Ladyhawke
