turbo leaking oil externally. not feed or retun. ???? hey guys, im trying to diagnose an oil leak. my turbo sits pretty high, the compressor housing sits higher than the top of the radiator... and my drain is a -10 with a -4 feed line. It comes straight out, and wiggles a bit through the k member, going to a 90 degree into the pan, ABOVE THE OIL LEVEL. my last turbo setup never had a problem, but when i get into it hard, it smokes really bad on decel. And i mean like a huge cloud of blue smoke that stays in the street!
The turbo is wet, and there is oil dripping off of the center housing v-bands. oil looks like its dripping from the drain flange as well, but the flange is o-ringed AND i put black silicon on it and made sure the bolts are tight. the feed line is completely dry. The oil looks very black, as if it is getting burned. Any ideas??
