Default 18g turbo oil leak

i have a 18g turbo and it leaks real bad oil in the piping. Is it bad seals? do you think by adding a restrictor will cure the problem?.....i've searched for info about the turbo, but found every little. any advice would be helpful.

If your return line isn't kinked, I guess a restrictor will be a Band-Aid to help you get more mileage out of it. Are you using the oil feed line that came with the kit?

Since you're still using the same feed line it will be difficult to find a restrictor.

You misunderstood him. The oil feed isn't leaking, he's getting oil inside the piping.
