  6. Technical Guides for the E90, E91, E92, E93, F30.
    My n47 turbo recently leaked oil into the intake causing a diesel runaway. I disassembled the turbo and found that there was a lot of forward and back play in the turbine (about a milimeter), I saw some scoring on the intake side and was wondering if that is what could have caused the leak.
