I did a search and I see that I am not the only one that has a problem with the turbo leaking oil between the center section and exhaust housing, right now it only starts to leak when the car sits for a few days. This is a fresh rebuild, I sent it back to the turbo shop twice with the same reoccurring issue. Is there a fix for this problem or do I have a lemon of a turbo ? Thanks, Kyle.
 
Anyone ? I read several post on this subject with no explanation, I am sure one of the TB experts have some idea on what's going on. The last time I drove the car I didn't put it under boost because I just installed a set of TA Performance headers and was instructed to go through one heat cycle,to do a retorque, before I put the car under any boost. I have Kirbans valve cover breather kit, a check valve inline with PVC valve, turbo drain clear with no obstructions, -4an oil feed line on PTE Turbo Saver. The only thing I changed from last year was I switched from 5w-30 Mobil 1 to 10w-30 Mobil 1. Thanks for your help Kyle.
