STS turbo oil leak.

Well me my car is well on its way to being done soon, but I have a problem with the turbo. The thing has less than a thousand miles on it but it leaking into the intake see all the wat thru the pipe from it. Anyone know what in the turbo is causing it. I am going to give STS a call tomorrow, just been hering I am not the only one having this problem. STS bashers please stay out if you have no good input. I am totally happy with the kit. Anyway, anyone else have this problem if so what did STS do about?

Could just ditch the pcv system and use breathers.

If I understand his problem, he is getting oil in the charge pipe from the turbo.
More than likely, the check valve is bad. Just take the steel braded line off; take the check valve off(3" brass cylinder on top of the turbo); put the valve back on the line and start the car until oil flows and turn it off. After a minute or two, it should not drip anymore. If it does, it is dripping into the turbo as the car/truck sits and running into the compressor and turbine sides.
