turbo problem
 

I think I have an oil leak in the area of the turbo, but cannot see point of origin. oil drops on garage floor and on return oil pipe. 87 supra has 77,000 original miles, with recently replaced head gasket. Oil lines were not removed form turbo during rebuild. Did not notice leak before engine rebuild. Any help would be appreciated. Question, if turbo seals are leaking, would they leak internally into the intercooer pipe or external at the turbo?

usually when the oil seals go they mainly start leaking straight into the exhaust and it smokes like a mofo

if it's coming down the oil drain pipe then it is more than likely from the oil line... jack her up, put on jackstands.. get torch shine up there... and see if you can find the origin of the leak

hi. hey mine started leaking oil from the turbo oil pipe when i took the turbo out to do head gasket ( wont make that mistake again. edit : those mistakes ), and around the oil pressure sender unit for some reason. oil feeder pipe attaches to block just behind it. think they just dont like being disturbed.

just something else to check.
