Turbo exhaust leak
 

I have a 2000 F-350 7.3 and I have an exhaust leak on the turbo, between the cold air side impeller and the hot exhaust side, the problem is that as you may have noticed, I dont know the correct terms for the turbo parts so I dont know what parts to get to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like mine is leaking between the mounting bracket/spacer that bolts the turbo to the pedestal that is between the cold side and the hot, the actual leak is between the mounting bracket/spacer and the hot side. If you go to my album I uploaded a pic of someone elses , doesnt have a leak but between the rusty spacer and the shinny exhaust side is where mine is leaking.Does that help any?

If I understand your description of the picture correctly the leak is between the turbo exhaust housing and the main turbo bearing housing. I haven't had one of these turbos apart yet but someone out there probably has and can tell you if there is a gasket or how it is sealed. The exhaust housing will have to be removed to fix it.

Turbo exhaust housing, that sounds right, and where is the main turbo bearing housing, is it where the 2 long bolts are to bolt the whole thing to the pedestal, right in the middle between the 2 impellers?

Yes. that is the maim housing. It is the rusty part in the photo.

Ok, great, thanks, now that I have a few names I was able to find out that there is no seal there, just clean metal to metal, now just to figure out why it is leaking and how to fix it.
