A wise man once told me that while piston engines might not be as reliable as turbines, the good thing is that they warn you when something is wrong before it goes badly wrong.

The photo is of the turbo oil pressure feed line.  This time it wasn't me - it was my mechanic who is normally meticulous.  The line was routed so that it touched the exhaust.  While there was no oil leak there must have been some kind of effect.

So the line now replaced, oil and filter changed etc and the oil pressure is steady from sea level through to 5000.

Bud was right - it did have something to do with the turbo

Hi William

Glad you found your problem. If not too much trouble, perhaps make a few cuts in both oil lines and see if there is a coking build up inside and post pics if so. Thx. Ron P.

Good thought.   



The lining of the hose is completely intact with no visible damage.  There was no oil residue on the inside of the fire sleeve



However change in pressure with altitude suggests that the hose was compromised.

The consequences of not correcting this might have been total and rapid loss of oil.

Hi William

I was suggesting taking a razor blade or knife and slicing apart both your hoses and inspecting the inside of the hoses looking for hard restricting buildup. Ron P.

Nope the inside of the hose is completely clean and unobstructed.
