I mean the compressor housing aka intake side of the turbo, on the inside/center-section half (not airfilter side)... now, having said that, I don't know that it's coming out of the compressor housing seal either. Everything is so very well compact (and the gas moves so quickly), it could very well be shooting out the vclamp in the direction of the compressor housing, and then being deflected out and around. All I know is that it is coming somewhere from the center section.

The turbo (as a whole) is very slowly but surely covering my newly powdercoated valve cover black w/ exhaust (the portion located right above the turbo that is). Otherwise, the turbo is functioning perfectly fine, and b00sts happily. If I've got to take it completely off (no prob being lazy if I knew better how it dis/assembles), I guess I mayse well rebuild it in the process. I'm assuming I can't just loosen the vclamp, give it a nice hard shove and clamp it down again.
