Ok my turbo is installed and we've had some problems over the past week and now we finally got my car running again but like usuall we hit another problem. i was letting my car warm up today and when i came back out the car was smoking. i found out its coming from where the exhaust down pipe meets the turbo outlet (where the exhaust exits from the turbo, exhaust is coming out along with some oil?? what exactly is wrong? why is oil coming out with the exhaust?? could my oil return line be plugged? would i be able to put some putty or something around it? any help would be nice.

heres my setup- 1999 sohc turbo with a turbonetics t3/t4 turbo, vortech fmu, turbonetics wastegate and gsr injectors(for now).

turbo seals bad? Are your rings shot? What is your compression and leak down numbers?
IS your return line straight?

if there is oil coming from the middle of the turbo between the hot and cold side, then your return line is backing oil up, if its from the exhaust then seals are toast.

its coming from the exhaust, and which seals are toast? and how much to replace them?
