my charge pipe popped off and i looked inside(the charge pipe) and noticed a good amount of oil....so does that mean my turbo is dead?? when i get back from work ill look some more...but any ideas would be great.

 

I believe it can be an indication of bad seals inside the turbo.

 

Time for a turbo rebuild.

 

sometimes putting a restrictor in to lower the oil pressure to the turbo can solve this problem...

worth a try since its like 2$ for a needle valve.

you can probably make it useable for a while if you restrict the oil pressure.

 

Check and make sure your oil return has no low spots in it either.
