Appears we have a turbo leak, the Ford dealer claims this is a "normal" problem to occur.

Anyone else witness this? Is it as simple as replacing the necessary gaskets, or does the turbo itself need replacing?

What other "normal" issues shall I expect with this truck in the next little while? I need this thing to stay on the road for the next month, after that I plan to burn it.

It currently has 135,500 kms on it.

How did you know you had a turbo leak?

Could you hear it?

Any loss of power?

Any loss of boost?

That's not a turbo issue. leaking up pipes are fairly common on stock and tuned trucks. Has to do with back pressure.
