Re: leaky turbo
 

too much oil pressure, blown seals

Re: leaky turbo
 

can a seal befabricated or do i need to buy one

Re: leaky turbo
 

if the seals are blown you need a rebuild, but since its just been installed you may able to save it by cutting the oil pressure by installing a restrictor, or a needle valve witha gauge to monitor the pressure to about 25psi
