Heyas, was installing my FMIC i bought recently and while working i noticed some oil on the two lower lines that lead into/out of (not sure which) the turbo. Are there gaskets on these lines that can be replaced or is this a serious problem? i still have consistent boost and havent heard any irregular noises. Just wanna find out what i can do about the leak(s). Thanks.

Mine also leaks a little. Just make sure your not leaking alot and i think it is nothing to worry about.

Yeah its nothing major, but it was wet when i was working around it. Just the gaskets/seals on the lines then prolly?

Bump, anyone have any info on a fix or what the issue is? I am paranoid with oil leaking from anywhere.

Yes, o-ring gaskets.

i believe so, the oil line going to the turbo has two bolts holding it on, i believe there are a torx style, take the two off and remove the old o-ring and put the new one on. i got mine from mazda for like 5 dollars i think. can get a o-ring at ace hardware for like 32 cents probably but i did not know what size to get. and i have not done mine yet either by the way.
