Default oil leak & black smoke!

so i noticed that i have an oil leak but i thought it was my oil pan gasket and then i noticed where all the oil was. Turns out its coming from the turbing area, and when i really punch it on the freeway i see black smoke. i guess its because the turbine is sending in oil through to the motor. But what could be cause the oil to be in the turbine?

seals in the turbo are probably bad.

how hard is it to change the seasl? or do i have to get the turbo rebuilt? Could it be happening also if my return line is to low or angled wrong?

they rebuild the turbo with new front and rear seal and rebalance the shaft, usually costs 250 bucks.

But also could it be happening if my return line is not right?

black smoke = fuel... so counds like you are running rich.

but if oil is coiming out of the compressor... your seals are shot, time for a rebuild... which phoenix turbo does for 250.

check your return line for any blockages or kinks, also where is it tapped on the pan, how far down?
