Default problems with my drag 3 turbo

i have a Drag 3 with a t3/t4 turbo
i found a puddle of oil in my piping after the intercooler, before the intake manifold..right before the pipe goes vertical..
i also noticed little bit of blue smoke from the front of the car.. and couple of oil drips on the floor. it seems to me that the oil is leaking from the turbo. i felt underthe turbo on the intake side(t4..i don't know what the name is)..
can anyone diagnois this problem?
thanks

i talked to majestic turbo, and they said i might need to get it rebuilt

sounds like the seal is gone. If you have oil in the piping line. That's what happened to my friends and his was the seals.

Check the simple/cheap things first- your oil feed or oil return.

well i know its not the oil feed, i checked it.
i haven't checked the oil return though..if it was clogged would it put oil in the intercooler piping?
