turbo oil drain leaking
Anyone of you guys ever had the oil drain leaking at the turbo. I dunno what the hell is going on! ! have tried everything! its just a standard T3 turbo every gasket I've tried leaks. currentley i am using a copper gasket with high temp silicon and it still freaking leaks. I even went as far as taking my flange to work and having the machine shop surface grind it to assure its perfectly flat. still leaking how much damn pressure is coming outta this thing??

Re: turbo oil drain leaking
Ball bearing or journal? What size oil feed line are you running? How is your PCV setup? How big an air filter are you running?
