straight to the point, i have searched and searched and i stil end up with nothing. i neeeeeeeeeed a diagram of the stock ca18det turbo.

i am shooting out oil from somewhere but i dont know what its for or where to find the part i will end up needing or what!! please help. its leaking .... i will try to explain but being new to the turbo side of things itll be vague...

turbo looks like this ( ) ( ) if you know what i meean? anywayy its leaking here (where i put the plus sign) ( ) +( ) on the left inside of the exhaust side on the housing i can feel a hole where it came out of. have not yet taken turbo off to
investigate because if its just an oil line then that can be done still on the engine.

and when i meean i cant find a turbo diagram, i mean i cant find one with anything
about the hole that im leaking from.

pleeeeeeeease help, i finally had the car started after i swapped in the ca18det and i would loooove to go for a rip! thanks!

um... there shouldnt be a hole there.... The only hole on the top of the core is the oil feed hole mate. And the only other oil hold on the core is the oil return.... So.. um... Youve eaten somthing insanely hard and shot it out the side of the exhaust housing? lol... Or... Um... You have a split oil feed line?

So its somwhere around where that pipe bolts onto?
