turbo oil leak issue...
wats up guys....ok i just installed a new turbo on my motor and the turbo is leaking right after startup...i know that the issue was in the return(to long and was routed bad) it leaked and its brand new....if i change my drain issue .although it leaked (after only being started for like 1 min tops..... would that automatically mean the seals are gone now? or does it have a chance that they just leaked out cause of the pressure and will be fine seein as they are brand new?

Re: turbo oil leak issue... (kmanian)
i had a very similair issue, and ill give the turbo the benefit of the doubt whether its cheap or a turbonectics, that the seals arent bad, espescially being "brand new". I had a kink in my oil return, fixed it, and that was it for my turbo oil leak, and i gotta a cheap "ebay" turbo (which by the way has 4k on it runnin 6psi 
) but none the less i fixed it with jus replacing the hose, hopefully youll be just as lucky
