turbo oil seals ?

[bot]

does any one know how to tell if your turbo oil seals are bad on the exhaust
side of the turbo, and any way to test them, car smokes as much as a very long burnout when you hold boost new turbo with 3000 k and rebuilt engine with 2000 k

any thoughts thank

I would loosen the downpipe bolts slightly then get the car warmed up and into boost and smoking.

Then pull the pipe off, should be some residue or fresh oil in there if it's smoking that much.

If it's really leaking oil may drip out when you start to take the pipe off.
