8v92's twin turbos. 1991
Looks like I'm getting soot on the fresh water side.
I run distilled water and Napa Cool.
has black almost like oil looking stuff. Put finger in, and when you rub it. stuff goes away
Also leaving a little black some on horizon, and cockpit / transom area is now getting a lot of soot.

Pulled the startboard side turbos. checked exhaust side clearance on the turbo blades. it's
about .35 seems a lot.
Could the soot be coming from the water cooled side of the turbo? or is there another issue?
also, the outboard side turbo had a lot of rusty water droplet and in the exhasut elbow

When pulling the turbos, water was black

Both turbo's pulled to check for water leaks

thanks
 
Have them checked completely.
