A problem after another...I thought everything was all set after fixing the rest of the stuff...but now the most unexpected dilemna comes from the turbo itself. The turbo is leaking greats amount of oil from one of five bolts. I tightened all of the bolts but it still leaks the same amount. Could this be a problem from the bolts? I used a washer before the bolt but that didnt help. ive also used teflon but no change...any idea?

What bolt? What turbo?

yes sir. Could it be a blown seal or something? I used teflon to see if it would help and it still leaks but not as severely. Should I just use slightly bigger threads on bolts?

There is no way oil should be coming from any of those bolts. None of them enter the bearing catridge in such a way that coil could ever leak from them. You likely have a bad turbo, or a blown seal causing oil tro leak into the housing, and drain around that bolt. Check for oil in the IC piping, downpipe, whichever side it is leaking from.
A picture would help too.

Sorry, I only have a camera image of it. Well, it was leaking from these bolts, but only the the bolt from under (cant see). Yeah, I thought it was weird too and I wouldn't have expected an oil leak from there.

If i were you i would take it out and take it apart to see if there is a seal inside that is damaged. Dont put anyother bolts in it, all you'll do is mess up the threads.
