Re:Where's that oily mess coming from? Please no...
 

I had this problem once and it was my oil feed. There was a small break in the line and under high pressures it just jizzed all over the engine bay.

I also had oil covering my tranny and block for a while due to a bad valve cover gasket, but that didn't get any oil on the hood or anywhere else.

Wow, yeah I have been working a lot so I haven't gotten a chance to really check yet. I suspect the oil return. Thanks guys.

That oil on the hood is probably from all that oil on the mani and block evaporating and rising up with mowhere else to go.

Found it. The oil return gasket between the oil return and turbo ripped when I rebuilt this turbo and I guess it hasn't been sealing very well. ::) It has been letting a volley of oil loose everytime some high pressure goes through it I guess. The charge pipe off the turbo was soaked with oil which explains the oil getting into my engine recently. At least it is a quick fix.

Glad to see you fixed it :)
