My project car has number of things I am going over, including all hoses, tune up etc., basically trying for a zero time with the running gear. The turbo drips oil, but not near or from the oil return line. It is literally dry. The housing, aluminum, has oil drips on it and the fresh air input also has oil.

Am I looking at a shot turbo? also crossed my mind that the return line is so blocked that excess pressure is building inside the turbo. There is some blue smoke also.

Thanks for comments,

dick
