Oil On Turbo

[falconhoon]

I took my car in for roadworthy inspection, and they said "Oil Leak at Turbo". So I popped I got it up on the stands, popped my head under and found the bottom of the front turbo housing covered with oil. I know nothing of turbos or Skylines in general so how bad is it? The car drives fine, turbo appears to be working fine.

could just be a gasket from the oil feed is leaking. degrease it then check it after every few drives to try and find where it is coming from

nah its all over the compressor housing..i'd say major blowby issue more like it..someones been flogging its guts out doing burnouts, the heads been filling up with oil (common RB problem) and spewing it out the breather pipe attached to your cam cover and back in the intake...maybe a loose clamp there or something as well ...

clean it off, check clamp is tight...check again in a week...get a simple oil catch if you intend to keep driving it this way
