Default Oil on turbo (pic inside)

I just noticed this today. I am not blowing any smoke when i am driving so i think it might be the oil return leaking?

Honestly thats something i believe most people would have to see in person to diagnose, you are your best tool, grab a flash light and try to find out where the oil is coming from and fix the problem, we can't guess by one photo.

Clean the turbo down and drive the car for a little and keep checking to see where the new oil spots are comming from.

If it was internally leaking I would blow smoke correct?

Upon further inspection the oil looks to be coming from here(in red circle) on the compressor? I do not blow any smoke when i drive?

I located the leak. Its leaking from the oil feed? What would cause this? I checked and its tight.

Depends on how much oil. Mine looked like yours without smoke, then in time it smoked. My turbo was blown

Are you tuned by the Nate at Wyotech? I'm a current student, actually have a buddy from up in Dubois.

Yea, he is good. Only complaint I hear about him is how he uses students cars with the facilities the school provides to tune and charges them. Basically, we pay $25,700 to go for at least 9 monthes. And if you need to get your car tuned, he uses the school's dyno, with school tuning supplies, during class time and charges full price to students. It's kind of a shady deal, but he's smart for using his resources.

Sorry for goin off topic on you. I have a 18g uprgraded to a 20g and the feed line to the turbo is common for going bad. I have replaced it once, and heard of other replacing it once or twice. Not uncommon, just vibrations from the engine and wear and tear make it leak.

What you "hear" and what you "know" are two different things. :-)

I've never charged a Wyotech student to tune their car, its part of my job. I have a 5,000sqft shop to do that.

Zach, give me a call!
