I have a sr20det oil comes out between the turbo and the turbo manifold. I think it might be my piston rings or maybe even a blown turbo...The motor the turbo came off of leaned out of oil because of a broken oil pick-up, so maybe it is just the turbo. On the previous motor the turbo made loud winding noises almost like a Ball-Bearing turbo. I'm thinking since I drove the car for 3 months like that before the motor spun a rod bearing, that maybe the lack of oil added with the heat dried the seal out and they cracked, and now that it’s getting the right amount of oil it’s leaking. The car just started doing this and it about the 10th time I’ve turned it on. The motor has only 42K miles on it. I guess what I need is the possible problems I sure someone has had this same problem with their boosted cars somewhere along the lines.

It could be any numbers of issues including the ones you mentioned.....did you pull off the turbo or the head to see what's up or are you just expecting us to solve your problem magicially?

Its self explanatory...It’s between the turbo and turbo manifold 4 bolt gasket)...But the motor the turbo came off of had spun a bearing because the oil pickup broke (leaned out of oil), so maybe that is the cause? The turbo got hot it wasn’t and getting the proper amount of oil, the seal dried up, and cracked and now that it’s getting the right amount of oil it leaking…I’ve started the car 10 times and this last time was the 1st time it started doing it… Also I drove the car around like that for about 3 months; the turbo was unusually loud for a t25, Whistled which is unusual for a stock sr20det redtop T25, You shouldn’t hear it at all. I’m thinking that is the problem since the motor is new and was bought from jei a few months back. I’m think this is the most logical thing. If I am wrong someone please correct me. Also please shoot me other ideas:
So far I’m thinking
-Valve seals
-Piston rings
-Turbo

WTF? I can vouch for a "redtop sr t25 turbo". It makes fucking noise man, big deal. You're up here posting about something you want solved.....yet you post not one picture and say its self explanatory???? Fuck that. Delete your post, forget any help, and I hope the turbo seals, along with the motor go to shit. Thanks
