ok it's been about a week since i had my car back and today the car felt differnt so i pop the hood and a bolt from manifold to turbo backed out,so while inspecting everything else i notice oil in the compressor side of the turbo(a light suite with a swirl) then i notice oil leaking from the bolts where you clock the turbo. i wipe it off cleaned every thing up screw back the bolt that came loose from the manifold and now no oil in the compressor but still a light seapage from the bolts where you clock the turbo.


another thing is that it's only been a week with fresh oil in the car and already the oil is black and thin that when i pull the dip stick it's like water it just runs right off
could this be my problem?
i tought i was to do a oil change every 1000 miles it's only about 400 miles so far.
someone help me out here please?

it depends if the oil was backing up, then no it will be fine, but if ur return line is good and u see oil there then most likely they could be leaking

 

Sounds like my old t3/t4. Oil was leaking from the bolts as well. Sounds like you might need a rebuild.

 

did you have an oil restrictor? I heard you need no because the oil pressure from the motor is way too much for most turbos
