yep bad seals. also dont think about rebuilding it.. i mean for the price of a rebuild u can buy 3 units. 1 has got to be good..
also check your oil pressure alot of pepole are ramming oil right through the seals bcs of high oil pressure.

i got it to stop burning oil by reducing the oil feed line but it still burns a little bit of oil & i want to replace the seals. i've never opened up a turbo before so if anyone is kind enough to give me info on rebuilding a turbo i'll put in a good word with the lord. thanks.
