Default HELP OIL in IC pipe!!!!!!

Oil is dripping from my IC pipe. The oil is coming from the turbo. How it is getting into the compression housing and into the pipe I dont know. The turbo has been rebuilt and looked at by 2 mechanics since that. They all say it looks fine and it might be the set up of the oil fed and return line. My feed line is on top and the return is non the bottom and the line is above the oil level in the pan.

Maybe to much oil pressure and blew your oil seals. I have seen it happen in person recently.

your oil seals on the turbo are gone.

Do you have an oil restrictor on the turbo???

If not that may be why you are blowing your seals

Are you blowing bluish white smoke out the tailpipe? If so, do a compression test on your cylinders as the problem could be ring related.

too much pressure... no restrictor, big feed line, return line too small.

Yep, no restrictor in the feed line would definitely flow oil past the seals!
