turbo oil leaking

[crracer105]

yesterday i parked my car, when when I left I noticed quit a bit of oil under car, so I pulled into garage and pull on ramps. I noticed near the Turbo im leaking oil. car runs fine and turbo works great, just losing oil somewhere. I put a mirror behind engine and no oil leak from motor or valve covers.
It seems to be leaking oil out near the oil line into the turbo, but can't say for certain.

does this mean my turbo is shot? or just leaking out of line?

thanks

Oil in the area near the turbo or the pipes doesn't mean the turbo is knackered, it actually sounds like your turbo works well. I would try and clean the area as best I could then check it in a few days or so and see if you could pin point the leak. It could be that one of the oil pipes is indeed leaking but that's ok, just needs replacing if that's the case.

No, the oil could also be leaking from anywhere and creeping around. I would clean the whole underside and wait and see where it's leaking.

hey guys, well after a short trip and parking car, there is definatly oil coming from some where on the turbo, i cant tell where though. can't tell if its the line coming in, or some where else, it's concentrated in center though..
any thoughts? is there rebuild kits? of where can i pic up a used one?
