Help: Oil return line setup, good or bad?
Return line down from the Turbo
Down from the turbo, travel across intercooler and moves up a lil bit, then to oil pan.
Would this be the reason why my Turbo need a new seal? Is the line a little way too long?

yea that is why you have an oil seal leak because oil isnt draing into your oil pan and is just pooling up in your turbo. cut the line and tap it in front of the oil pan as high as you can get it.

I've had a oil return that was just as 'horizontal', although it probably used half as much line. 'Bad line' + old turbo + 1/16" inlet restrictor = zero smoke. It likely would cause smoke/oil seapage if you had no restrictor and/or the turbo was already ****.
