28859, Oil coming out the turbo?
Posted by dSTARm619, Aug-13-02 11:34 AM
Well there is oil coming out of my turbo, I dunno know why? I took off my intercooler and theres oil in the pipes too. How can I fix this problem??? If anyone got there cylinders honed, can you give me an estimate on how much it would cost and to mill the head down? Thanks

Is your return line kinked or otherwise obstructed? Does it have a clear, straight, unbend path to the highest part of the oil pan?

It might just be blow-by. How much boost are you running? I blew my engine 4 months ago, 12psi was too much for my stock internals. I broke the piston lands and blew the rear main seal....WAY too much pressure! This also caused oil to push past my turbo seal into the intercooler and piping.

Or your turbo seal could just be going bad.
