Oil leak from oil return on turbo
alright, i got the rest of my stuff in from SF a couple of days ago and i installed it yesterday afternoon.....i installed the oil return flange that attaches to the bottom of the turbo and i even had a gasket made for it, but i am still having an oil leak from there.....i know that this is where it is coming from.....what did you guys use on your setup, set as rubber silicone or what, to keep from having an oil leak.....it is a little one, but yet it is aggrivating and is messin up my concrete driveway.....

Rep Power: 0 well, i did notice a little drop around there while i was putting everything on but i assumed that that just got there from the return setup....if so, what does that mean....

Rep Power: 311 If your oil seals are bad, than the turbo will have to be rebuilt (ie, taken completely apart) - just to replace them. They are what hold the oil in the bearing section (so it doesn't flow into the compressor and turbine sections). They may be leaking - it happens....Contact SF and see what he says, take some photos if you can.

Rep Power: 312 if the oil seals were bad, you would have quite a bit of smoke coming out the exhast of your car.
Take the flange off, clean both surfaces really well, then use some high-temp silicon to seal it.

hm, could it also be that I don't have a cat? ... O_o ... but I guess it wouldn't matter if I had a cat or not, because that crap never came out when I was n/a ... -_-;

Rep Power: 312 azn, i talked to your friend at the meet. I told him what you needed to do, and i am going to send you the part.
Email me with your address and ill send it to you asap. It literally takes less than 5 mins to install. And i had the same problem, and this fixed it.
