Oil wetness/dripping under turbos?

albertomg · 02-28-2008, 12:16 PM

OK, I figured I'd post up a technical question about an issue I'm seeing on my car.

I have 99 twins with about 25-30k miles. I'm seeing a decent amount of oil wetness and drips under the snails. I've read a bunch of threads that seem to contradict each other about why I might be seeing this. Possible causes seem to include:

1. Turbo oil lines leaking
2. Internal turbo oil gaskets/rings worn

What are your experiences on what the cause may be?

Thanks.
