Is this a bad sign? (blown seals?)
So I was checking my charge pipes for leaks (didn't find any ) and noticed that with the system pressurized i could hear a "gurgling" from what sounded like the oil pan by the oil return line... as if pressure was getting in there from the return line?
Is this okay? Are my seals blown?
I've been loosing 1 quart every 800 miles or so and can sometimes smell oil burning when i come to a stop... I think i might have found the problem?
It's a gt28rs turbo with only 10k But the oil feed line fitting broke before and i was using a bad -8an return line
Blown?

Try to get every LINE tighten, and sealed.
I had a worse problem, leakin seals into the compressor side, and pipings. I remove everything, retighten the line, and hand tight ( or torque ) the turbo's bolts to the compressor side. and Walllah! OIL stopped leaking!
I used to leak LOTS of oil too..

there is a slight amount of oil in the charge pipes... none after the intercooler. It's just a thin layer nothing major like a quart every 800 :/
