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

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.

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.
