that doesnt sound like it should happen with a new turbo? at first the seals leak a little bit and then stop? doesnt really make sense to me.

hmmm... well this is intresting... idk, thats what i awlways heard, and mines doing it... my oil press spiked up to 110 psi for about 2 seconds b4 i shut her down , so hopefully i didnt blow out any of the seals. it was burning a little oil before that too though... ill give it a little more time and see if it clears up.

I have never had that problem, but I could see it happening. It might leak until the seals wear in maybe?

im questining my return line now... its 3/8" ID which jsut might be too small...what do you think? also, my supply is 1/4" line with a 1/8" fitting at the ends, so at the very end, it will only be 1/8"...
