Wtf is this line?

[JtWo]

Can someone tell me what this is, and how do I put it back on? I found out what the smaller line is, I just want to know what this is. It's about 14'' long(didn't measure it). My turbo has white smoke continuously coming out of the exhaust, including after warm up, and oil dripping every now and then. The temperature levels are normal. Sorry for the BAD BAD BAD resolution pics, I took them with my webcam. Hrere they are.

mmm better pics please.....I can't tell what the hell it is. It just looks like a dark blur.

Looks like one of those venomus 7m snakes that are highly toxic from japan.

BETTER PICS!

LOL.

Get us some pics and possibly where you found it and we'll be glad to help you out.

;-)

Sorry I don't have access to a better camera, I just found it under where my car was after I moved it.

I've isolated where the oil is coming from, it's coming from the steering rack I think, towards the passanger side

 

[suprana1990]

i think it is ur speedo cable or the o2 sensor line.

looks like a 12.5'' thermopopulator modulator. ring up toyota and send them a blank check. well is the big tube hollow? its not your dipstick tube isit? auto?

 

[JtWo]

The small one is the speedo line, the big tube is what I don't know. I have an '88 5spd Turbo.

the big one looks like the speedo line of a 5 spd to me

maybe the little one goes in the big one?

this thread is hiliarious.

I got better pics now, including the oil leak.

Here are the leaks

 

[Adjuster]

Yep those are leaks alright. But I'm not sure what the oil leaks on around the power steering rack, and oil filter location have anything to do with your speedo cable. (That's the "line" in your photos.)

Pressure wash the underside, then drive around for awhile and check to see where the leaks are coming from.

Right now it looks like your leaking everywhere.

 

[JtWo]

The oil looks like power steering oil(it's kinda reddish) How would I go about fixing it? Btw, when I steer, it makes a wierd whining noise.

 

[Squid699]

yup - your speedo cable alright, but just the short section by the trans........pretty cheap part from 'yota tho.

looks like your oil filter might not be tight enough.......hard to tell tho

 

[JtWo]

Btw, does the speedo line have anything to do with my boost guage? That isn't working either.

 

[americanjebus]

haha yes this is infact pretty damn funny, this is probably the thread people have taken less seriously for some raeson

adjuster thanks for pointing out that yes they are infact leeks and that it looks like its leeking everywhere.

 

[chriso]

That line is your speedo line either between the main section and the tranny or the tranny line itself. The skinny coil looking piece goes inside the hose piece and it looks broken to me.

 

[boost fiend]

fer sure, thats your speedo cable. da short one is $19 at toyota and and da long one is about $101!!!! i have that same leak on my 89. get 2 or 3 fat zip ties and re tighten the boot on the passenger side of the rack. then just put a lil trans stopleak in the system and bleed it out and it should be ok for a while.
