I just removed my compressor housing from my turbo and noticed there is a small amount of oil in the compressor housing. Very small

But There was no oil in the piping, not a stain of it. confused.gif

I did not notice any on the exhaust side although I never removed the downpipe. But I didn't notice any blue smoke from the exhaust nor did I notice and significant amount of oil lost on the Dipstick.

Turbo has no shaft play.

I was boosting on this turbo for about 3 hours @ 15 psi. So if the seals were shot on the turbo wouldn't that be enough time and enough boost to blow the oil out in the piping?

Maybe to much oil pressure?

I am not using a restrictor but should not need one because my oil feed is from the Head and I am using a 1/8th feed line.

Whats your thoughts?

don't worry about it until your blowing smoke, That is my thoughts on this.

No smoke = all is okay (and no shaft play).

If one is worried, then get it rebuilt (I am guessing t3 or t25, right??)

Yeah your alright. A very small amount of oil is okay. I actually have oil laying in my intercooler thats been blown out on side of it... But the car doesnt smoke or nothing like that.... Its not much oil but its there...
