Default My turbo is leaking oil, HELP!!!

I dont know whats goin on, but the other day I found some oil being shot from my BOV. I think my turbo is leaking oil under boost. Does anyone know hot to troubleshoot this? I dont even know where to start short of taking the whole thing apart. Does this mean my turbo needs a rebuild?? Please help out if you can.

a rebuild is probably going to fix it, for 5 seconds, depending on what caused it in the first place.

We need some details on your oil lines.. diameter, length, fittings used/fitting sizes. oil drain ID, fittings, all that.. also what turbo u are using.

sounds like either bad oil drainage or high inlet pressure

sounds like it's in the wrong forum and I don't know anything about turbos. check out the faq in the turbo forum to see if they can help you.
