Took off my intake yesterday only to find a small pool of oil resting in my turbo inlet pipe (SR T25).

Is this the turbo oil seals? I wouldn't expect to see it in the intake side since its always under vacuum. I have a catch can although there is maybe 10ml in it, tops.

Anyone know cheap places to send turbos to for rebuild? I'll do it myself but I don't want to. Also prices?

ThanksJon
