Let's say due to high heat your turbine oil seal is leaking, your losing oil and you are 10000 ft above ground... Are you going to keep flying that aircraft until you feel like landing it?

Question: And a turbine shaft oil seal does consider to be a turbo failure right? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Funny how you avoid that question


Overall, turbo system is more complex than a typical supercharger, components are prone to failure due to fatigue or whatever the cause is. You can not speak for everyone and say it will never fail just because you never encounter a problem with it, you are making a broad statement just as I was.

And the stuff about losing boost and keep on driving is just plain stupid... sorry to say
