A 0.065" restrictor usually works, however a leaking turbo will usually need a rebuild. Just like poping a headgasket requires a new HG installed first...

Try the restritor and see if it clears up. Its not like poping a headgasket. From what i'm starting to understand those ring seals are not actually there to stop oil leaking. There there to stop Air and exhaust gas getting into the CHRA.

Re: need help! oil spitting out of exhaust
i read on Garrett's actual website that a restrictor is not needed when running a journal bearing turbo because it reguires more oil. yes i know the seals went bad on my old turbo that one is gone. i just need to know the size oil line to run.
