I just put in my turbo today. It leaks oil pretty bad on the exhaust side, and when the I turn the engine off, it leaks a little bit out of the compressor housing.
Should I do another rebuild on, (bought the turbo used and did a rebuild on it), or should I just ditch the turbo and get a new one? The wheels and housings are in good shape, after the rebuild there is no shaft play whatsoever and the turbo spins pretty well.
And also, if I drive it leaking like that a couple days, will I be fine if I keep an eye on the oil level?

I wouldn't drive on it. If it's leaking on your exhaust sid it's probably clogging up nicely in your cat if you have one. Oil leaking in to my exhaust would worry me.
