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.

sir, you and i are in the same boat. i think, lol. cept my oil return like is not metal. it doesnt have to drain straight down. you need to make sure it is draining back to your pan so if u did just remove any random bolt (even tho i cant see that happening...) ur gonna have to drain ur oil pan, take it out and pretap it. that'll give you a hole to drain the oil from the turbo. i got my oil leak problem solved by retightening every section of the oil feed plus the oil return. as for the heavy smoke, im workin on fixing that too. for some reason i found out that it only does that when im not under any boost.
