OK GOT A OIL LEAK I CANT PIN POINT!!!

OK i thought at first it was the oilpan but when i got under the car with it running i could see the oil running down the front motor mount. As i look up i see the coolent U line for the turbo SOAKED IN OIL, not coolent oil. I checked the coolent to see if it was contaminated with oil and its fine. I cant figure out where this oil is comming from. The entire line from the metal waterpump to the bottom of the water line is oilie but how ever there is no oil as it gets closer to the turbo so we can conclude that its not the turbo. Also there is no smoke while the car is running or reving. got any idea where this oil leak could be?

I think God is telling you that you should have bought a turbo car in the first place...

The coolant feed and/or return line? How about the oil feed banjo on the top of the cartridge? Did you use new crush washers on it? Or, alternatively, did you perhaps torque it too tight and crack the banjo?

[Super Talon]

the turbo is dry on all sides

Exhaust stud, I believe it's the center lower one.

The stud hole runs into the oil galley.

[Super Talon]

so the exhaust manifold not being tight enough can cause a oil leak... HUH thats interesting...

[OneSlowEclipse]

Yeah James, time to replace those missing studs....

[Super Talon]

well it was not the exhaust maniflold... one of my crush washers for the oil line for the turbo head side had a scratch and was leaking... now i have to find that other leak and the short on my injector wire...
