I need a little help theres an oil leak on the compressor side (cold side, where the air filter goes would normally go) basiclaly there is all around the baleds and around that area. there no excessive smoke from the exhaust and on idle theres is the normal light white smoke. From reading i think it may be that the oil return is blocked. If it is the return pipe has it caused any damage to the turbo? the car hasnt been run much maybe 4-5 times since fitted totalling in 2 hours of driving. Can i just sort out the block and eveyrhting will go back to normal?

Depends how much damage has been done to the seals, but probably. Just fix your drain if that's what you think the issue is and see if it clears up.


P.S. If you have 1/2" return line....it's pretty small because that's really 3/8" ID then and with kinks or low slopes and what not you're looking into some pretty poor oil drainage.
