so i had my car running for about 2 minutes before the oil feed line blew off (stupid mistake) and now about a week later im taking the turbo off to mount it a little higher.. and when i do oil runs out of the exhaust side of the turbo.. my exhasut pipe is clean for my car... so it didnt come from engine and there was no oil line hooked up to it when i moved it... its just the left over oil that was sitting in the turbo for the week.
so my question is- is my seal bad? and if so how can i fix it... its a cheap god speed turbo that i only ran for 2 miles and i have a scavanger pump that runs fine..... its actually hooked up to my fuel pump wires

for the feed line i got 4 an with and i think its a reducer on the feed fitting for the turbo.. its a small hole where the 4 an line runs too... guessing that acts like a reducer

pick of your set-up ?
have you ran your scavenge pump before, or is this your first time with this turbo kit ?
Polarity switched on the pump maybe ? could be pumping oil back into the turbo .. I have bought lots of these "junk" ebay turbos before and they work pretty flawless ..

hmm no i dont think the pump is switched.. im gonna check today once we get it all back and mounted if the pump is working well. im gonna leave the return line out of the motor and let him crank it for a second just to see how the oil is moving
