If it's leaking "between the turbine" than the turbine would burn it before it had a chance to drip on the exhaust. Are all of your bolts tight ect? Drain line good?

I'd try tuning it out with a restrictor before pulling it and doing a rebuild. You never know.

did you buy the oil line kit or did you try and be cheap and piece together one yourself? your oil line may be way too small.

how big of lines are you using. make sure ur lines arent crushed or nething. that ---- happens more than u think it would. if it is not leaking from the outside then ur turbo seals maybe shot. how many miles were on the turbo when u had run it. how beat was the turbo when u got it. rebuild kits are liek 100 dollars on ebay. or get a new center section for like 350 dollars. consider revising ur setup be4 u buy new ---- and it still smokes. ok peace out man good luck
