So, i bought what I thought was a great 850T last week and after having the safety done today I find out the thing is losing oil. The mechanic said he wasn't sure where from, but at first glance said it looks like the Turbo. He suggested I have the engine cleaned to pin point where the leak was coming from. When I asked what if it was the turbo he seemed to think it was not worth the repair cost. So, what the hell am I up against? Do I cut my losses and get rid of the car quick? It has passed safety and e test, has 260k kms and all in all seems a good car, minus the leak. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
