+ External oil leakage or exhaust leaks
Replace damaged parts with new parts.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to remove carbon or dirt buildup on the compressor or turbine wheels without removing
the turbocharger from the engine. If chunks of carbon are left on the blades, an unbalanced condition will exist
and subsequent failure of the bearings will result if the turbocharger is operated. However, itis not necessary to
disassemble the turbocharger to remove dirt or dust buildup.
1. Chock the wheels.
2. Disconnect Park Smart batteries (if equipped).
