Default Tiny bit of oil on compressor inlet?????.......brand new turbo

hey all, just took a look at my compressor inlet on my new turbo and there is a tad bit of oil on it, the weird thing is it only has like 50 miles on it????? WTF

its a new turbonetics T3T4E and it wasnt much but it did raise my suspicion

anyone else had this problem with thier turbos????

do you have a decent filter on your turbo? If your impeller fins get dirty they will wobble and spew oil out the seals. Clean it immidiatly if you see this and take it as a warning. Use Carb Cleaner and clean it threw nice. Put a "filter" on and save your investment
