Turbo goan???

[zeljko]

I just got a 1987 regal t-type last Saturday and I drove it home over 300 miles. The car looks like it has been driven very little lately even though it has 122k miles. I was doing some cleaning and took the pipe off from the output side of the turbo and noticed oil in it. Is this normal or is the turbo on its last leg before it takes a dump? anyone know what's causing it?

Thanks for any info

if the inlet valve is hooked to the valvecover then that could be it just sucking oil in the from valvecover . if it has a k&n filter in vcover then its probably the seal in turbo

kit for rebuild

Does anyone have a good line on getting rebuilding kits for the turbos?

Probably original turbo. Just buy a new TE 44 and you'll be good for a long, long time.
