Oil buildup in my turbo? Help please...

somchhir1 · 08-02-2009, 04:34 PM

I just installed the BNR stage 3 turbos, and everything was working great for about 2 days. then it started idling funny, so i thought it might be a vacuum leak somewhere so i pulled the y pipe off and noticed this greyish oil on the gasket. I got my flashlight out and shined it down into the compressor housing and noticed what looked to be a semi-dried up pool of oil. These turbos are used and i have only put about 15 miles on them. anyone know about the oil buildup and what may have caused it.

possibly oil seal going bad, sometimes turbos blow oil
