signs of oil getting into turbo?

[Little6pack]

I took off the small preformed hose from turbo to the Y connector that goes to wastegate selaniod today.

I noticed small amount of oil leaking out of the hose when I was at the part store counter buying a new section of hose to replace the worn factory unit.

QUESTIONS:
Is ithe oil getting there via the stock passenger side breather?

Should I replace this factory breather with the after market breather unit that also plugs the venting from valve cover to turbo?

Install a breather on the front of the PS header. Get the plug for the turbo inlet bell.

The clean the trubo inlet bell. Later you will want to clean the IC, up pipe, hose, and TB.

Run the car for a couple of days and then check the inlet bell. If there is oil it could be coming from the trubo.

THANKS

Will do.. I ordered the kirbans breather & blocker.

Was going to clean the IC & pipe up to the TB as
a winter project but it looks like my time line will be moved up.

I should use sensor safe carb cleaner spary?

First of all I wouldn't be concerned with a LITTLE oil coming out of anywhere with our cars.
That being said though, I'm in the process of checking where my oil in the breathers is coming from. Take the turbo inlet off and see if there is back and forth (driver to pass side) movement. If there isn't you can replace PCV (I hope you have a check valve). If you still get some oil, it can be your rings or seals. Like I said I am up to the compression/leakdown part right now.
