I have a leak on my turbo, its a brand new Down2turbo Rebuilt, it looks like its leaking from the center section, right undernethe the oil inlet facing the front of the car. chould it be the angle of my return isnt all the way down, it has a slight bend up to the pan

I have the same problem, except mine is on the bottom of the turbo's center section from a bolt near the drain. I got it to stop leaking once or twice, but its back to its old ways again. I have the oil restricted by at least 75%. NO weird sounds or anything abnormal except leaking.

yea i think mine is coming out of a bolt too, cant get it to stop, should i just not worrie about it and make sure i check my oil or what

I tried putting some gasket sealer on the bolt, and I think it got it to work temporaily. I really don't think the leaking is hurting anything, but I am not 100% sure. I say just check the oil more often.

I believe somebody has had this problem and contacted down2turbo, and down2turbo replied with something to the likes of: the problem described is because of too much oil pressure.

Well I have mine restricted a bunch, and it still leaks......

yea, i have mine restricted too alot, and still i get it, it looks like it comes off a bolt that faces the bumper and drips down the oil outlet

Mine drips on my intercooler piping. There is a nice line of oil along the underside of the piping until it reaches the coupler. It never drips onto the ground.

Return line is leaking from the fitting a bit, but the line is 100% downhill, 0 kinks. I thought that was the problem also, but it wasn't.

yea ill try the oil return then, the little bolt, with some silicon and see what happens
