I have lots of problems going on with my 2001 2500. Im thinking that my engine breather is plugged. Would that cause my turbo to start leaking oil because of the pressure build-up? Do you even need the bottle that your breather tube goes into?

 

no you dont need the bottle. mine goes onto the ground

 

i checked the bottle and the hose and everything was clean. Im trying to figure out why my turbo is leaking oil. It has very little play. Any suggestions?

 

Here is my modified breather tube...

Typically if the shaft move in or out like a old school headlight **** there is problems. If there is any oil leakage typically that a bad sign of seals and/or bearing issues.
