um maybe i think its draining back from my oil return line going from the turbo to the oil pan, because the turbo sits almost as low as the oil pan so the line goes straight across to the oil pan, it doesnt angle down at all so i think when i let off it might be getting a little bit of a vacum and sucking a little back to te turbo if that makes sense
