total bummer

got the ca running today no problem doesnt hesitate to start or anything, then i let it run for a little while and oil started slowly coming out of the hot side, i got the turbo from a guy that says it was rebuilt 3 months ago, its an sr t25, not sure what to do, are the seals not fully sealed? there is no shaft play what so ever and now i dont know what to do.......pretty bummed out about it and about to give up on the whole project........

Checked for kinked return line, as it can cause oil to back up past the seals.

so i checked it today and what do you know theres my problem.....i feel retarded and relieved.....so if i unkink the line and let the oil flow and the engine run for a while at idle will the seals be ok?????

if you caught quick enough yea, to give ya an example my Ball bearing turbo the line somehow got kinked and I drove it like that for a week before any signs. than out of nowhere it started to smoke like crazy filling blocks. However I fixed the line and the smoke went away. However the compressor was shooting oil like crazy. Turns out it was left over oil being blown out. The turbo was ok after cleaning it and checking for any problems.

So if you caught it fast enough you should be ok.

Have fun cleaning the oil from the pipes that **** is NO fun.

luckily i caught it maybe thirty seconds to a minute after it happened and the oil didnt even have a chance to get into the intercooler piping, the pipes where clean internally

You'll be fine. Get the kinked line fixed and start driving!
