Trail of oil down chargepipe? turbo seals?
I jacked my car up because i was pretty sure i need to reinstall my oil pan gasket, and i noticed a large amount of oil buildup on the charge pipe that comes down from the turbo itself, there was like a trail of oil leading down the piping. could this mean my turbo seals are blown? any other surefire ways to be able to tell?

Why would there be oil on the OUTSIDE of the pipes? If there are blown seals, then the oil has to be getting from inside the turbo to outside somehow. Either a leaking connector, leaking wastegate nipple, or a leaking exhaust.
More likely it's leaking from your drain line.

Re: Trail of oil down chargepipe? turbo seals? (beepy)
actually i do have an exhaust leak from the turbo to the downpipe. In the same area where the oil is on the outside there is a black soot covering it.
