Default Why does my turbo's keep blowing seals?

I've had 2 turbo's and they don't consume on drop of oil.. until like 1500 miles it blows oil for a split second when i get on it... my compression is fine i have no blow-by and I think people said it might be the oil return line? is this tru? Im using what came with the DRAG kit and the oil line isn't the best looking but I dun understand why turbo works for like 1500 miles then bam its leaking...btw the first one was a turbonectics t3/t4 and the new one is a precision sc50! any help would be great! this is also happens to my friends car too, his gone threw like 3 turbos! i even switch to 10w-30 oil! btw i took my pipes of and my downpipe and i couldn't see any oil in them... weird

what size oil feed are you using? try a -3an
also make sure your oil return does not have any low points in it where oil could collect and cause backups.

So once I fix my oil return line I have to send my almost brand new Precision to get it rebuilt? cuz once it leaks it will always leak?
