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.

Okay, here's the deal. Oil is fed into the turbo through where the oil pressure sensor used to be. It is drained to a plug that was right above the oil pan. If I just redo the drain and tap it into the oil pan should it work fine? Also, do I need to regulate the oil pressure from that feed? I thought I heard somewhere that this feed would put too much oil pressure into the turbo.
