the oil will back up and you will blow your turbo seals.

fix the return line.

If your seals were blown you should see smoke from the exhaust or have oil in your charge pipes. Do you have pics of your return line. that would help about a bunch.

what size is it ? -10

if your seals are bad you can get new ones.

theres no oil in my charge pipping YET..or smoke from my exhast...the bend is like a 70-80 degree angle, is it safe to drive it? and if the seal is broken is it easy to replace?
