    Did you ever determine where the oil was leaking from?

    You never indicated that you had found the cause of the leak when posting about this on z31.com and I wonder if replacing the turbo will "fix" the cause of your leak.

      Maybe your oil return needs to be replaced.

          Arent you the guy that was interested in my t-25? If you think your turbo is leaking make damn sure its the turbo first! I made that mistake myself, only to realize it was my motor spewing oil into it! Easiest way to check is to do a compression test or unbolt the turbo from the manifold and start the motor and see if youve got oil coming from the exhaust manifold.

            He won't even go out to his can and look to see where the drip is coming from and you want him to remove the turbo from the manifold?

                i did check it. i got it lifted to check the leak. It looks like it is coming from the line connected to the turbo.

                  So you don't need a turbo. Just the return line?

                  Terrible idea putting those wheels on...

                      Which one? There are two oil, two water (depending on year), and one vacume/boost. You never seem to answer any questions with clarity. This makes it very hard to help you.
