Would bad seals in a turbo cause a drop in oil pressure???

[FJM568]

Subject line says it all...

New GM timing cover, end gear clearance setup .002-.003, resurfaced oil pump cover, running Biggie oil filter...max hot oil pressure seen is about 35# driving around...Noticed oil in the IC piping...85 setup, no pcv vapor line to the turbo/breather...pcv is installed and good...

Any thoughts/opinions???

No noticeable change when the stocker went on my '87 car.

It was leaking oil for about 15K miles too.

Oil pressure and temp. stayed normal. Using a Kenne-Bell booster plate and stock oil pump setup.

Throttle body and up-pipe didn't that's for sure....

shouldnt give a readable difference even if turbo is completly shot.

Might try my gauge from my other car...
