Default turbo oil leak

I have oil coming from the back of the turbo. I check all lines and gaskets and still big *** oil leak. I even use short bolts for a tighter fit and still have an oil leak.
It looks if i have a leak above my oil return line. the turbo haves no more than 200-300 miles on it.
Can someone please help?

sounds like turbo seals are blown.

Is your return line sloping down the whole way?

Did you tap the pan near the top of its deepest part?

May I suggest a good turbo rebuilder, majestic turbo, in Waco TX.

They can even inspect it for a small fee and tell you if its bad.

I just took off my old manifold and put on a new one and cranked it up and it started leaking oil. It never leaked oil. This is the first time it leak oil.

Is it possible that the turbo could have cracked?

Did you get the turbo from ebay?
