If you can keep the boost at a minimum,I might take the chance.
If you have oil on the intake side its bad already. That seal opens up anymore and it could run away.
Have a board or something to block the intake just in case.
CAC is going to need to be flushed good.
I took it loose from turbo to CAC, and from CAC to venturi. Its not oil puddling or running out of the hoses, its more like a mist. Iy is gummy to the touch, which makes me think it has been going on a while now. Another thing, I had the guy who run the shop at the yard I park out get me the turbo. I put the turbo on, he calibrated it for me. I wouldn't let this shop work on nothing for me, but that's another story. Anyway I called and ask about warranty and they say it depends on where they bought it from. Seems they buy a lot of Cummins parts from Volvo dealer in town instead of Cummins, say they get better price. If bought from Volvo, I will have to buy another one and they will send the old one in and if its deemed covered under warranty, they will mail a check. 6 to 8 weeks later. Now if it was bought from Cummins they will warranty then and there with original receipt. Been scraping and scrounging coming up with enough to put new head, cam on, now this. Just spent over 11,000 on our other truck for tranny, clutch issues, my partner dumb ass autoshift. That's another story. I guess just call me Waterloo Jr!!! I will fix it myself or die or go broke one. I am so tired of these dealers and some repair places taking my damn hard earned money. I was nearly ready to sell my Prostar or trade it to and old pre egr piece of shi#t, but I will not surrender. With the help of this forum and people on it I am going to get this truck to be a money maker. Thanks Rawze.com
Well it seems they bought it from Volvo dealer and they say I will have to buy a new one. Needless to say I am not a happy camper rite now. This story is not looking like a happy ending
