I would go a bit further and tear some stuff out of the way. Like take the Y-pipe off! See what is going on they can build some oil and cause a real mess. Sounds like the turbos are working to me. As long as you dont get any smoke from the tail pipe your turbos are running good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Yea but if any oil is in the Y pipe then chances are that there is going to be oil going through the turbo and hence the exhaust. I mean what other oil source is there between the teeUrbo and the Y pipe? NONE. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png I bet the turbos oil seals are worked.

Thanks for your input.



I let it run for a few minutes, and oil dripping stopped. When I press the gas however a few droplets fly off from the o-ring lower edge. Probably the amount of oil which dripped out in the morning had been accumulating there over many days. A month ago I have installed a greddy smic, and my theory is that since the greddy smic is rigidly mounted to the body, and uses quite rigid hoses to my metal y-pipe, the engine movement stressed the o-ring and it failed. Just hope no y-pipe aluminium is cracked. I plan to replace the IC hoses with hump type hoses to allow some flexibility and hope for the best that my turbos are fine. BTW, my exhaust shows no smoke of any colour, and all the rest seems to be working fine.

If you read what I said oil in the intake is o.k to a certain extent.
