Default Turbocharger leaking oil, wth?
Well, I've had this issue for a while, and since I've finally got time off from school and everything, the problem will be addressed THIS WEEK. Basically, my turbocharger is leaking oil really bad. The car is smoking, of course, and oil is leaking out where the hotside mates to the rest of the turbo. Is there anything, other than internal oil seals on the turbo, that would cause this issue? I've already found the rebuild kit for the turbo, so I'm gonna rip out the turbo and pull it apart to see what has happened inside. But before I do all that, is there something else that I should check first? It is a stock turbo from an 87 TII. I did have the wastegate ported when I had the motor rebuilt, but I dunno if that has anything to do with it.
