so the way i have it now is that it drains right into the oil pump, and the pump goes straight to the oil filler neck, but your saying thats not good since its sucking the oil from the turbo , that i should instead have it drain into a canister than have the pump suck it from the canister

If you had a proper pump, what you have would work.
But yes, if you can gravity drain into a reservoir and then scavenge from that, that is a good option. But if your scavenge pump inst up to the job in hand with either configuration, the problem is still the pump.

Ideally, yes. Not all do it that way, and depending on what pump you use and the line diameter/length.. etc some get away without. Putting suction on the drain can pull exhaust gasses and other soot and crap past the seals. This is why when you see low mount OEM turbo setups they have a sump of some sort with a vent. This also allows some a place for oil to gravity drain when the system is shut off. Some use timers so the pump continues to run a minute or so after the engine is shut down, or just leave the pump on a bit after engine shut down.
When I sealed them up all perfect.

It didnt make sense, but it happened. Tried it several times.
Although given space, I do not have room for proper large reservoirs like the above, so no doubt that was part of the problem
