I've been reading and searching postings regarding this turbo leak and the common fix is to replace the oil return o-ring and gasket on top which I've just done and not to see any leak after a week its back. Some say that TURBOS are meant to last and should'nt have any problem, some says that if the turbo is bad, I should have a white smoke when I stop for the red light but now its cold, I have this condensation or smoke that's there during the first 15 minutes of running engine. Ahh, several hint I can provide for you to give me your expertise;

***I usually hear the turbo's recochet after turning the engine off if I could remember, but lately since I'm having this problem, no more recochet.

***hesitation on highway speed and turbo kicks-in little

***hesitation on first-run/cold start

Did this just gave me a hint that my TURBO is dead?

MY SALUTE TO THE PERSISTENT AND PERSEVERED LOVING THIS BRICK

Thanks to all!
