Default Similar question to one below but with a different setup

I got oil comming out of both sides. The turbo doesnt have any play and I was told was pretty new. I might my oil comming from oil sensor like everyone else and I'm dumping it in my oil pan. One thing I have different is I have a plastic elbow so I didnt have to bend the return hose. btw I have a td04 and I setup to give oil in the top nipple and return oil in the bottom nipple(that was a guessw on my part).

is your oil drain above the oil pans fluid level? what size is the drain hose? Is the feed directly on top and the drain direcly on the bottom? Does the return line have a nice gravity situation? Is there anyplace that is flows anything but down? All those things can lead to oil build up and push past the seals.

How small is the plastic elbow on your oil return? Generally, you want your oil return to be 2 times the diameter of your oil inlet.

Also, if your oil return can't flow well, you will leak oil from your turbo.
