Default If turbo seals bad, how does it leak?

ok if seals are bad or something, does the oil leak on the outside of the turbin housing or inside?

i found some leaks coming out of the housing bolt on the turbine... wtf?

is there a way to fix that? rebuild kit? or can you just take it apart and put new seals?

Post a pic!

You sure your oil inlet line isn't leaking? If the turbine housing is filling with oil then the oil ring on the turbine side is completely destroyed. Rebuild kits can be bought for $60~$100 but you need to mic the shaft and center housing so the correct bearings can be ordered.
