Oil leak...

[Wiggles422]

There's was burnt oil/grease around the shaft part of the turbo. I wiped it off and degreased it a little while ago. I let it idle and I didnt see any oil leaking (nor could I smell it), but I made sure all the fittings going into the turbo were tight and they all were. My oil pressure is low (10-12psi) but the dip stick says I'm good. Tomorrow I'll drive it around some and see if I can find exactly where it's coming from. Anyone know how to fix this if all the bolts/fittings are tight? I hate to take it to the dealer if it's an easy fix. (mainly b/c they'll complain about the FMIC)

dude mines covered in some kind of grim i wipe it off and it comes back, I dunno, my car doesn't seem to leak oil and its not enough to drip. I think it comes out of the couplings from what i've been told its normal for turbos to do this.

My car has the same thing. My friend With a RX-7 turbo tells me it is normal to.

Rich24km and bluemsp, is it enough for you to smell the oil burning when you come to a stop. I would think that it would have to be a decent amount of oil to smell it.
