Oil leaking out exhaust & compressor...
 

just barely installed a homemade kit on my cousings car. it is dripping out oil from the open downpipe and out the compressor outlet. could this be caused by a bad seal? or perhaps a clogged return line? help!

If it comes out both sides then rather your return is too tight or oil can't flow down enough fast. I had the same prob when i started boosting.

ok thanks! i kinda had a feeling it might be the return line because the nipple on the oil pan is a bit small.

It could also be that your return line in crimped and the oil is not going down.

i'll check that too

Oil return from the turbo to the oil pan should be 7/16" - 5/8"

-8an or -10an are good sizes to shoot for
