Default oil leak from turbo...

I founded oil in the turbine who blow the air ( and around the silicon clamp )... Is it possible or It is possible that when I installed my block guard and my turbo was not mount oil have been dropped by mistake.....personnaly I dont think that oil can escape from turbo this way ???

seals in the turbo are probably shot, time for a rebuild

are you talking about the compressor side or turbine side? I'm assuming compressor side since you said silicone couplings. How much oil? Is it fresh? If it's just a little bit, then keep your eye on it. I think you're ok.

As far as 19psi? I don't think turbo seals are gonna be your issue.. more like an engine rebuild.

boost usually doesn't blow seals, oil backing up in the turbo oversoaks them and causes them to blow out. u might wanna list that kinda info about ur turbo too, i can't just guess what ur setup is undo the coupling from the turbo and check to see if there is any oil in your charge pipes. if there is, then ur seals are probably gone.
