Well.. The turbos look FINE. No shaft play at all... Spin free.

They don't appear to be leaking the oil.. but oil is puddled right under the manifold... Is there anything else that could leak oil into the exhaust and cause all the goddamn smoking and puddling?

if the turbos are fine, could be the oil seals on the engine...

That's just what I was thinking...

How do I know for sure? I still have to take the rest of the manifold off... I removed the turbos from the manifold first... I still can't quite see exactly where the oil is leaking... But I'll soon find out I hope.

I can bet that would be just sick LOUD. Seeing as I'd have to run it open manifold... Uh... NO. I'll just ******* rebuild it. Hell, it has 65K on it anyway... Goddammit...
