was it alot of oil.. like wet?

if it was a **** ant amount id just rock the turbo for a while.

 

If you pass your finger by it.. your finger come out oilly and you can see the oil in finger and like a drop on the inside of the copling....
Thx is this going to be fine or not... Do I Need new Turbo??
Will the oil catch can help this situation???

 

No a catch can wont do anything for ur situation. U dont need a new turbo. U just need new turbo seals.

 

where can you get the seals from ?

 

ever try a oil feed restrictor? its just a fitting with a .060" hole inline to your turbo to lower the flow rate of the oil.. worked for my turbo.

atpturbo sells them.

 

I would guess that you need to look inside your intake plumbing as well. If you have a PCV or valvecover nipple plugged into your intake piping, the turbo will create a huge vacuum and suck oil right of the head of your engine and send it on its way to the combustion chamber. Thats how a catch can would help you, by seperating the oil vapor out of the air that goes through the PCV and valvecover.

So in other words if between your air filter and the turbo inlet you have a hose connected to the engine, the turbo is probably sucking oil vapor. But if you don't have it setup that way, then yes, the oil would have to come from the turbo itself.
