The coolant flow through the turbochargers on some 5230 Hydraulic Excavators is slow enough to allow the turbo heat to boil off the water and then burn the remaining coolant residue. This creates a dark colored coolant with a distinct burnt smell in the entire cooling system. The coolant temperature in the turbocharger will rise above the acceptable operating temperature of the 7N7628 Turbo Water Line Gasket. In these high operating temperatures this gasket will break down allowing leakage of coolant past this gasket.
