Turbo oil leak, HELP PLEASE Options

[tigernate29]

I have a major problem. My brand new turbo is leaking oil out of the exhaust side. Is this because it is not draining oil fast enough. I have a #3 braided stainless line into the turbo and a 3/8 braided stainless line out. Also, the oil drain isn't exactly pointing straight down, could this be the problem. I have alot of smoke, and I am afraid to drive the car for fear of running out of oil. Also, it is not draining straight to the oil pan. Right above the oil pan is a bolt which I removed and drained my oil back into here. Is there a possibility that that is feeding oil back into the turbo through the drain line? Anyone please help.

so are you saying you pretty much looked for a hole to plug your oil train line into? Did you do this because you didn't want to tap a hole into your oil pan?

About your oil leakage... what kind of turbo do you have? it makes it alot easier for us here on the site when we know what we're working with... otherwise its impossible to tell... in your next post give as much info as you can... make it as long as you can.. it'll only help the diagnosis process go faster.... and you'll probably get alot more replies

Edit: of course we could just look in your profile but i know I, for one, am too lazy to do that
