It will be running down from above. The point where it is pooling is the lowest point. I would look at what ever is between the turbo and the silicon hose hose. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I would look at what ever is between the turbo and the silicon hose hose. i looks like the its coming from the core and where it joins the exhaust housing to me. i think my oil drain is to blame again, i dont think it flowing correctly, time to give up on trying to get it flow back into the block via the fuel pump hole |

Hahahaha nah it's a different oil drain, But I suspect probably just as bad :( I didn't see it burning any oil but it was leaning out when i tried to rev it a couple of times. I've spoken to midlandturbo and I'm gonna send it back up to them t have a look, if they say it's all fine I'm gonna fit a scavenger pump to sort it out once and for all |

But have a read. Simple terms. Too much oil supply to turbo...especially if a ball bearing unit Insufficient drain Excessive crankcase backpressure....which ties in creating insufficient drain But technically there are no oil seals in a turbocharger, at least not a normal journal bearing. Not 100% sure in BB There is a piston ring which's primary role is to seal the centre housing from boost or turbine pressure. As a mild secondary it may seal a little against oil. But no oil should ever get to the piston rings in the first place. So even though it is passing oil now, the chances of this doing damage is almost zero. http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=837618 9.85 @ 145mph

I have been looking at these oil drains for a while thinking if I ever have to take my engine out again I would fit one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301072163032?ssP...984.m1423.l2648 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281024193151?ssP...984.m1423.l2648 i was thinking this but i dont want to take the engine out never mind splitting the box to drill and weld it (or tap) haha On 8th Sep, 2014 evolotion said:

That's my photo that you reference there. I actually did have issues as mine was smoking although I didn't have a new turbo to gauge against.

In all fairness, this isn't the first topic from the o.p. on this subject. Plenty of people offer advice and put pictures like that up, but... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Plenty of people offer advice and put pictures like that up, but... i tried doing it the way you suggested but it wont work, there is no other way i can do it the turbo outlet is the screw in type so i cant make a angled piece, even if made a 90* for the fuel pump blank it wouldnt work, its just way to close together. im not ignoring your advise it just wont work for my application.... |

you got a pic of it on the car? |

If there was so much oil passing the seal on the turbine that it runs out of the turbo like that, it would be smoking like a train from the exhaust. weirdly nothing noticable from the exhaust :/ thats whats weird this time, before the turbo was rebuilt it smoked like mad!!
