?Kia put a diesel in their vehicles? Learn something new every day. I would guess there must be some means of purging air from the filter. If air again accumulates, have to find out how it's getting in there. I'd be the first admit I don't work on diesels, even though I've had them in the past. And I avoid turbos like the plague.
If you are getting boost, your turbo is likely not blown. There is a banjo bolt connection for the turbo oil. If it has loosened, then it would be leaking oil on the outside of the turbo. A blown turbo leaks on the inside (I believe, though not positive).
I don't have a TDI, but have a VW 1.8T with a turbo I recently replaced.
There is really nothing to fix other than to replace the turbo. It is not a tough job (at least the 1.8T wasn't) though it took 11 hours to complete. So you should try to get the oil leak fixed (near too much heat to ignore) but should likely only need to replace if it's not providing boost, or making strange sounds.
hi squeeze the bars together and it will release the clips for you. if you need more information someone on this kia forum had the same problem and was given the steps to-do it.
