Oil all over turbo

what does it mean when u have oil all over the bottom of the compressor housing and over the oil feed and return lines??? would this be a bad oil hose??

Most likely a leaking oil feed line. Very common.

will that hurt anything. its probably cuz of the mileage. i dont have the time to repair it or place or buy parts. all my money is going inot that K frame.

The stock Oil feed lines for the turbo are GARBAGE. Replace them with new ones or get a set of stainless braided oil feed lines from www.relentlessracing.com. Worth every penny.

i whiped it allll off. i got the K frame out so i can get up in there nice and easy. plus i have exhaust that leaks out underneath the hood. that could be the oil burning tho. lol but it does sound like i have a nasty exhaust leak up front... that be the manifold or swing valve leaking????? starting to be a pain.

Maybe your exhaust donut is bad and leaky. also very common
