I may be new at the whole turbo thing, but i am pretty damn sure having oil in my intake side of the turbo on my, 1990 Silvia CA18DET is a bad thing!! There was also oil in the recirculatory hose from the turbo side valve cover, to the intake tube. I don't know if thats normal or not. I also notice oil in the tube right before the intake manifold, enough to "pour out"
However lacking in turbo knowledge i maybe i still jacked the car up and had a look. (my guess) a turbo oil line blew because there is oil everywhere!
Any guess' or help is appreciated, the car is parked for now.

Can i get the turbo seals from nissan or is this better off to go through an aftermarket company?NISTECH wrote:sounds like you blew the seals in the turbo.
If canada nissans offered the turbo up there as a factory option on the car when it was new then the dealer should offer reseal kits for them. The thing you need to worry about is if the unit has become worn inside which may be what blew the seals out in the first place. I dont deal with turbos at the dealer except to diagnose them, I dont often get the chance to repair them as the cost to do it is very high at the dealer. The customer ends up taking the car away without a repair. But in all cases a new turbo unit is recommended.
