Default Rear Mount Oiling Help

Is there a certain way to go about "Bleeding" the oil system? Im getting lots of oil coming out if the exhaust, and found that my return is just spitting oil into the valve cover. It just gets random high pressure bursts then stops every couple seconds.

Thanks.

What kind of pump do you use?
Is the pump below the outlet of the turbo?
I use a pump from RBracing and I don't have any problem.

Do you have a checkvalve installed above the turbo?

What size oil line are you running?

What size is the oil drain to the pump?

And the above questions as well...

restrict it with a .80 and take your oil feed and wrap it or zip tie it up high in the engine bay above the intake if you can for when you shut the car off so it wont come out, then just make sure the pump is working.

check valves and all other **** you dont even need.

you just gotta make sure it cant gravity feed from the motor back

No check valve. Are you saying install one in the drain?

Drain is 10an > 3/8

It is restricted with a .70

My feed is a AN line so in order to get it high in the engine bay id have to buy a whole new one. Or are you talking about the drain?

I had to install a check valve on my return line or else the turbo would completely fill back up. I should have done one on the feed line also but never did. I also put a delay timer on my oil return pump and it runs for about three minutes after the car is off.

Ever since the seal was breached it hasn't sealed back up. I don't have any in the intake side but still if the car sits for a week or two when I fire it up oil comes out the exhaust pretty bad. Once I drive it it goes away and is bone dry.

You may get lucky and it won't leak anymore. I think the check valve actually leaks back slowly if left like mine. I let it sit for three weeks and that's what happened.

I also noticed my oil kinda globs back into the valve cover its not a steady flow

The check valve needs to be above the turbo, on the supply....

The issue is not too much oil, it is that the pump wont pump correctly. Its just sputtering the oil out not an even flow.

Thats what it does

You need a check valve above the turbo and your seals are probably compromised

Ok were is a good place to get one?

Im just trying to understand the concept of how a check valve helps, when the oil can only flow towards the turbo anyways? Im not doubting you im just trying to understand. I can see having a valve in the drain so it wont back drain into the turbo...
