A few days ago I posted about a TII that I bought that was fliped and was smoking. I have ran this car 3 times now for a total of about an hour. The other day the last time I ran it I pulled the TID off to take a look at the turbo and on the lip that the TID clamps to on the turbo there was a small puddle of oil and looked a little bit oily in there and a little oily in the TID. could the turbo have an oil leak and be causing the smoke??? I doubt that there could still be oil just sitting there after like letting it run for 20min the last three days. any thoughts?? also it has some shaft play in out and up down but not a ton.

yeah it could be the turbo, but it might just be leftovers cause the car was upside down

And in addition, the crankcase gasses are dump thru the TID thru a small vacumm hose. so could be it flip over and the oil drain ino there slowly.
