i pulled off my intercooler to find oil all inside is it the turbo seals or could it be somthingelse any help appr. thanks

 

bump

 

sounds like seal in turbo to me. What kinda turbo, is it an actual name brand or "ebay", and are you running a oil restrictor?

 

what is a oil restrictor?

 

it restricts oil to the turbo. Honda's are known for blowing ebay turbo seals because of their high oil pressure. A oil restrictor limits the psi to the turbo to a point where it's getting enough oil to safely lube and cool the bearing in the turbo, but not enough to damage and bleed by the seals. I did this to my ebay turbo. I don't think they use good seals in them. I've seen people with name brand turbo's not have to run an oil restrictor. So I take it you are on an ebay turbo?

 

seals in the turbo are gone...time for a rebuild.

What size feed line are you running? What does your drain look like? How many miles on the turbo?

 

happened to me a couple years ago with a brand new garrett turbo. compressor seal was bad right outta the box. I had oil shooting out of the bov.

 

yep, my last setup did it too. Oil restrictors are like $12 or so last time I checked. Sometimes you can put one on and it won't leak anymore oil if it didn't damage the seals it just bled past them. Other times you gotta fess up and get a turbo rebuilt.

 

were can i get an oil restrictor?

lol ironic its on ebay.

 

Be careful that you know what size the restrictor is IF you even need it. You can easily make a bad situation worse.
