Help...I have oil leaking somewhere from the top of my turbo
I know how to do everything on my car. The only problem I have is with the turbo itself. I dont really understand much about it. It seems like oil is leaking from the top where the oil feed goes in. It doesnt look like the feed line or fitting is leaking..could it be the seals on the turbo or what? It not leaking alot but enough to **** me off.

Did you use teflon tape on the adapter fitting that goes into the turbo?

My braided stainless fitting that went into the turbo actually made mine leak for a little while. I went to a local hot rod shop and bought a 90 degree end braided stainless Goodridge brake line from them for some old skool car, and it se3aled up perfectly. Just taking the turbo off, on and off and on caused the seal to go out in the stainless line, I suppose. No problems since, I just have a pretty long oil line now
