Alright guys once again i have a problem with this never ending swap. Every time i start my car the turbo is leaking alot of oil. Its s steady stream. I looked at the turbo b4 i gave it to my mechanic (may he die the worst death possible ) and i didnt see any visiual damage at all im wondering if he could have hooked up one of the oil lines wrong b/c i dont thing that the seal would leak that much oil but i dont know alot about turbos. Just posting this b/c its late and no light to work on the car. Thanks for any help.

Also where could i get a turbo rebuilt i already know taht cheapturbo.com does it just wanted to know if there were any others.

Where is it leaking from? Is it from one of the lines that run into the turbo?

if it's leaking steady into the intake it will need rebuilt/replaced.

My bro's turbo was leaking as well, as it had come loose. He replaced the cat with a piece of flexable pipe, and problem was solved.

Not sure exactly where but it looks like its coming from the shaft that connects the two pieces together. Im hoping its the oil lines b/c its leaking alot out on the ground.

Are you having a lot of oil in your exhaust? You can tell this by blue smoke when you gun the engine.

Shaft that connects two pieces together? What shaft are you talking about? The main turbo shaft?

ok guys i think that i fixed the problem there is a oil line that connects to the turbo right by the exaust manifold hook up but that was loose and i tightened it down and NO MORE OIL LEAKING!!!!!!!:ylsuper

Ok one more thing there is a sensor plug that goes on the bottom of the flange that connects to the downpipe any one know what that sensor is?????
